Hi,

I have managed to get a working setup using the manual,
just for testing purposes.
found at:
http://www.winton.org.uk/zebedee/manual.html#item_listenmode

This is the setup

;rem starts client which listens to everybody
;rem port 23232 tunnel to 23232 on server pc
zebedee -l -T 12345 23232:*:23232

;rem local pc, which runs behind router/firewall
zebedee -s -c 88.8.88.8 -T 12345

This works for a single server.

The computer with the 88.8.88.8 has a backbone connection, so everybody should get a connection with it.
I have currently 65 servers behind a router, which I want to access from my desktop machine

I think I can make a config file using this

tunnel 10001:server001:23232
tunnel 10002:server002:23232
tunnel 10003:server003:23232
...

I guess this should work, when server001 - server0xx can be directly connected from my 88.8.88.8 computer.
My question is, how (if possible) can I configure this using "Server-Initiated Connections"?

And do I really need to make 65 port on the client application, to make a connection from every port
to another server.

Is there a way that ZeBeDee can figure out to which socket it must send data if I connect to the client app
using some sort of proxy-protocol.
So if my own application is always connecting at i.e. port 10000, then send:
CONNECT server001 23232\r\n
\r\n\
And that the ZeBeDee then known to which server to connect to.

It would be even beter that when the server I want to connect not already has a connection to this zebedee client,
i.e. if I send 
:
CONNECT www.google.com 80\r\n
\r\n\

would work as a normal proxy server.

This way I can use ZeBeDee as my default proxyserver,
my special servers will be connected via de ZeBeDee Server,
and all other traffic also works

I hope it can, :-)
If not, maybe someone ( or me ) can add the feature

Greetings,
Edgar

PS:
Pretty big question huh? :-)
