Since you have done a proxy setup so I suppose your question is not about if and how for setting up a proxy. I don't think we currently have this. But I think you can request such a feature to be implemented. In the mean time, I am doing similar things at SLAC by manipulating the NAT table in iptables (modify TCP head so that traffic to host A is sent to host B, etc.) Yes it is like a root_proxy variable. I do not know if it will be widely used but maybe idea is interesting. When everybody and everywhere in HEP switched to root it might be useful. In our case: we have WN's after GW (NAT) in our network and a server outside our network. We would like to reroute all xroot\root traffic to our WNs GW through that particular server. If you have similar setup could you please describe it a little bit.
