Description
Threw together this very specific proxy that allows the downstream to define which IP will be used for the proxied request, and has built-in rate limiting mechanism to coordinate upstream rate limiting across clients.This is particularly useful when you have a proxy node with many IPs, and you either want to use a specific one, or rotate through them. It also helps prevent upstream rate limiting due to disjoint clients being unable to coordinate on rate limits.Opus was largely able to one-shot each feature from my specs, which was pretty cool (shows how effective a spec is).

Could you build this?
Yes A custom forward proxy that binds outbound sockets to specific network interface IPs with simple token-bucket rate limiting is straightforward to implement in Go, Node.js, or Python.
