Remote X through a proxy

[Chris Midkiff]

I am doing something similar here, but my firewall is a Linux box (ipchains
& ipmasqadm).  The proxy server is going to have to port forward 6000 to
your machine.  I don't know whether or not your proxy can do this.  What
proxy are you running?

Subject: Remote X through a proxy

I am wondering if there is anyway to run a remote X application through a
proxy.  Here's the situation...
the remote box is actually an AIX box and I am trying to connect my win2000
client, which is behind a firewall and uses a proxy server to it.  I have
opened the default X port (6000), for the connection, but I am not sure how
to handle the proxy.  I was trying to do this by setting the display
environment variable on my aix account to the ip:disp number of my win2000
client, which has a n X server running on it, but I realized that wouldn't
make it through the proxy.  I am looking for an idea or a suggestion which I
can look into and try to implement, or if its not possible please tell me so
I will stop pounding my head against a wall:)
Thanks
