Mark,

At the risk of being shot at, I'll point out (again) that they don't
have to be proxies, either... value can be added in surrogates and
gateways as well. The best term would be intermediary.

You were faster, our mails crossed...

Although it seems one might risk to get shot :) I agree with Mark and
don't like the term "proxy" in this context either. Intermediary
sounds good to me - and this might not only include surrogates or
gateways, but also these "devil" L4/L7 switches etc...
