I chopped out the non-murder config options from above to make it simpler 
to see.

On your frontend you have proxy_authname:murder (so the frontend will 
connect to the backend as user "murder").  On the backend you have 
proxyservers: proxy_murder (so only user "proxy_murder" is allowed to 
proxy for other users).  I'm pretty sure you should set proxyservers: 
murder on the backend, or change to proxy_authname: proxy_murder on the 
frontend (sync those two usernames up).
