I know, in general, what proxies do -- caching, filtering, and |
2 |
bypassing firewalls. I have even written a couple of very special |
3 |
purpose proxies. Now I need one for work, and don't realy want to |
4 |
write another custom special purpose when it seems there must be a |
5 |
canned one which can do the job. |

We have some vendors who transact business over special ports with |
8 |
custom protocols. We pay for these connections, and we only have two |
9 |
of them, good enough for QA, but when a developer needs to test code, |
10 |
they have to drag their machine over to QA and schedule time with one |
11 |
of these connections. What we need is a proxy which can take any |
12 |
number of connections on our side and funnel everything into one or |
13 |
two vendor connections. I don't know enough of the proxy jargon to |
14 |
know how to describe it. I imagine some kind of NAT. No filtering or |
15 |
caching; firewall penetration will be taken care of elsewhere. |

Any suggestions, or proxy education hints? |
