How would clients respond to this (redirect back linking)

I read a few times that certain SEO's build links to a domain that's 301 redirected to the client, often cause they work on pay for performance so it's an extra protection in place.

What would clients think of this?

I was thinking to do it like this in the future:

- 20 links from my primary private network, all unique IP's and different types of CMS and styles of sites, in other words each link would be unique instead of the standard blog post, this network would be relatively small, say 80 sites, and people would get 20 unique links from that.

Cause it's small it would allow me to put more effort into making the sites look real, additional content with no links, perhaps even aiming to rank them and more, just to build a solid site.

The rest of the sites would then be more basic, standard WP with unique theme and obvious also unique IP's but the links would then be pointed at another domain that I redirect to the client.

In case something go's wrong I can easily disconnect the reconnect.

You think this would lead to complains from noobish clients or is there no need to mention it?
