routing through a proxy server
I'm new to this forum, so please be gentle !
I need to get my IBM RS running AIX4.3 onto the internet to a particular ftp server, through a NT server running proxy services.
This NT server is directly connected to our internet router vis a secondary NIC on the NT server.
When I add the route to the destination ftp server via gateway ip of the NT server, I get destination unreachable.
Is the fault with AIX, or is it NT. Iread somewhere about SOCKs not being compatible, but not sure if it means SOCKs on NT.
Hope that's enough info for you gurus ?

rsockd
RSOCKD(8) System Manager's Manual RSOCKD(8)
NAME
rsockd - SOCKSified SOCKS server
SYNOPSIS
rsockd [ -ver | -i | -I ]
DESCRIPTION
rsockd is the SOCKSified version of the SOCKS server sockd. Functionally rsockd is identical to sockd except that it may (though not nec-
essarily has to) make use of other SOCKS servers to reach some destinations. A number of rsockd's can be strung together or organized in a
cascade or other more complicated structures to serve the needs of a particular network configuration and restrictions. Obviously this
complicates the issues and make the setup and maintenance of the firewall more difficult. So use sockd instead whenever you can.
This document only describes the features of rsockd that are different from sockd. You should read sockd(5) carefully to gain a basic
understanding of of how the SOCKS server works.
When rsockd receives a request, it checks the request again its configuration (in exactly the same way that sockd does) to decider whether
the request is to be accepted. The primary difference between sockd and rsockd is in how they establish connection to the destination host
of a accepted request. sockd assumes that it can connect directly to the destination host and proceeds to do so. rsockd makes no such
assumption. Instead, it consults another configuration file to decide whether it can connect directly to the particular destination host or
whether it has to use a proxy connection through another SOCKS server. In other words, it behaves just like a versatile SOCKS client in
this regard. Therefore rsockd requires not only the SOCKS server configuration file /etc/sockd.fc or /etc/sockd.conf to decide whether to
accept or reject a request, but also the client configuration file /etc/socks.fc or /etc/socks.conf to decide how to reach the destination
host. If it is a multi-homed version and supports RBIND, it also needs the route file /etc/sockd.fr or /etc/sockd.fr to decide which net-
work interface to use for a connection.
Look at it in a different way, you can think of sockd as a special case of rsockd, one which can connect directly to all destination hosts.
In fact, an rsockd using the client configuration consisting of only this line
direct ALL 0.0.0.0
is functinally identical to the regular sockd.
Anther thing to mention is related to the use of identd. Only the SOCKS server which the requesting host directly connects to can find out
the identity of the real user. Suppose user x on host C connects to rsockd on server B which in turn connects to sockd on server A in order
to reach destination z. Host B can query identd on host C to find out whether the user is indeed x. To host A, the request appears to orig-
inate from user x on host B. An identd query from Host A to host B returns the userid that owns the rsockd process on host B, not the real
user x.
OPTIONS
See sockd(8).
EXAMPLES
The follwoing is an example of the client configuration file. See related man pages for examples on server configuration and route files.
# /etc/socks.conf for rsockd of domain rnd.xyz.com
#
# Use proxy connection through SOCKS server on socks.market.xyz.com
# to reach hosts within market.xyz.com
sockd @=socks.market.xyz.com .market.xyz.com 0.0.0.0
#
# Use direct connect to all other hosts within xyz.com
direct .xyz.com 0.0.0.0
#
# Use proxy connection through SOCKS server on gateway.xyz.com
# to reach all others
sockd @=gateway.xyz.com ALL 0.0.0.0
