I seen it done at many places requiring more than one proxy, for the exact
reasons you describe.

Other sites uses a proxy.pac file with a list of known troublesome sites
and redirecting these to a specific proxy solving the problem that way.

Others use a load balancing scheme where the same user will always use the
same proxy (unless unavailable).
