This sounds like a good idea to me. There is no need for C, however (presuming high performance is not a requirement); Guile has all the facilities for writing (proxy or otherwise) daemons. For example, sizzweb: http://www.gnuvola.org/software/ttn-do/ttn-do.html.gz#sizzweb can listen on a TCP port or a Unix-domain socket (but not both, by design, i.e., not a limitation of Guile).
