On the one proxy, have a rule setup to match your requirement and have it forward to the other one. As such, this would require [...]

I think it depends on the nature of the application. If it’s for casual personal use, just about any of the distros would do. I’d use the latest stable release. I happen to like Fedora. If it’s for a more important personal use or a non-critical business use, I’d use Centos. It’s a Red Hat [...]
