My experience is mainly with RouterOS, which is a propietary Linux based
firmware for Mikrotik boards.

It is mainly intended for ISP/WISP service so not really what you are asking
for.

RouterOS has ok proxy capabilities, but afaik no real reverse proxy out of the
box.

I don't think having NFS (or any sort of data storage, for that matter) in a
router is wise. If you have proper servers in your home LAN you may be much
better off serving your NFS filesystems from one of them.

It would helpful to know which sort of load you are expecting. Most consumer
grade routers lack horsepower to do anything heavy.
