  No.  You need to set Proxy-To-Realm.  That tells the server to proxy.

  The keyed-balance configuration is a method of proxying.

  That's not how keyed-balance works.  Read the documentation.  If you
want 50% of the packets to go to destination A, then list "home_server =
a" as 50% of the servers in the home_server_pool.

  You don't.  They keyed-balance method hashes the data, and selects a
home server based on the hash.

  The approach is right.  I'm not sure you really understand the
comments in proxy.conf.  That would help.
