It’s perhaps similar, yes. There are differences, though, in which it’s also somewhat similar to the current proxy draft (own epoch tracking, multiple servers,  etc). I wrote it up in a rather brief draft here - comments and criticism welcome:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-stenberg-homenet-minimalist-pcp-proxy-00

I’m not really sure I’m going to push that in homenet (or here), but I am tinkering with an implementation and seeing if it fulfills the need I have in homenet cases where I need PCP proxying (as opposed to the full-blown draft-ietf-pcp-proxy-05).

Cheers,
