The main problem with that, is that reverse proxying is push based, message queues are pull based.

What makes this a problem? The initial request to Polyglot is also "push".

The rest of the web works on "push" too; pull in this case would only help if you don't care that a request could take a long time (seconds) to resolve.

I didn't see mention of it, but what happens if a message is not responded to? How does Polyglot handle time outs?

That's not implemented yet I'm afraid, I haven't figured out a good mechanism to timeout the messages.
