I want to add service ports, but at the proxy server. I can't use the
WinSock Proxy because I'm not using a Windows-based client. So I want to
set up the proxy server so that if someone inside the network tries to
connect to a certain port on the proxy server, the proxy server will proxy
that connection to a specific port on a specific host, outside of the
network. At the client, I edit the hosts file so that the client thinks
that the proxy server is the external host.
This is a common thing to do with other proxy servers. I'm surprised that MS
doesn't have the capability, but that seems to be the case.
Thanks.
