There are actually three variations on this idea:
http://freehaven.net/anonbib/#foci11-decoy
http://freehaven.net/anonbib/#usenix11-telex
http://freehaven.net/anonbib/#ccs2011-cirripede

Ian Goldberg, one of the Telex authors, is on our board and is a

Current status is that it needs deployment in a router where it would
have popular websites behind it that censors don't want to block.

There's also plenty more coding work, etc.
