So, now I have to run a reverse proxy -- another point of failure, another thing to debug when something's not working.

That's a hack to work around a shortage of IP addresses. Why would I use one, when I don't have that shortage?

Well, you can have tons of static IP addresses, or funding to support MIT and future IT upgrades.
