On almost all* the methods, things are done synchronously. That is, a message is written to the configuration system that updates the status and you're returned the status of this update.

 

 

*things that might be "race-condition-ish": failover (the WSDL states this explicitly) and adding or deleting a proxy (though we possibly wait for proxyd to restart before returning, I don't know for sure; it would generally be a race you'd win everytime unless there are scads of proxies).
