Subject: [nuby] tcpip proxy in ruby

All:

Anyone written a tcpip proxy in ruby?

Write a program which will be a simple intermediate server_1, the server_1 will listen to a specific (ordering line) port, after connection from the client, the server_1 itself is connecting to another specific server_2 and the server_1 is transmitting data on both side (server_2 and client). 

On our case, server_2 may also serve as the internet.

Our scenario looks like this:

client------>server_1------->(server_2 or internet)

the link bw client and server_1 is a private leased line over wan. Client has no connection to the internet; only server_1 has. Client needs full access to the internet however (so http proxies like squid will not suffice).

thanks and kind regards -botp
