This is wrong, since ProxyConfigServiceImpl does asynchronous initialization.

You are right however I couldn't find a function to do that so I'll need to
extend the ProxyConfigService interface to supply this or else have to do dirty
tricks here like the one I just implemented to work around the missing function
for now. 
I'd rather add it in a separate CL which I'll even try to land before this one
so that it will be neat in the end when it lands on trunk.
