Seems to me this is what you would need to do. Using a configuration
option signals a need to keep the configuration option in sync with
the master. If you don't use a configuration option then you
shouldn't have to maintain anything. If you cache the version on the
proxy then the proxy needs to be restarted whenever the master
changes. Which isn't particularly intuitive.
