Well, the short answer is that scotty does not easily work as a proxy.
The reason is that scotty wants to know the instance when it starts to
process a request. A proxy usually does not know anything about the
remote instances when it starts processing the request. You can
probably hack around this by using "begin" bindings and doing the
remote request before letting scotty answer the request. But this
might become an ugly Tcl script.
