I do this as well albeit with Django as my backend.
Grunt has a few plugins that help you manage this as well. If you're using CoffeeScript and/or SASS then I highly recommend grunt-connect-proxy - it's trivial to set up and works like a charm. It's also really useful to stub out HTTP calls by setting up your grunt-connect middleware to deliberately return certain responses.
