Hi Joel,

Yes, that would work. I've written a small Java proxy app that connects 
to the local VNC server and then back to our office through a Microsoft 
ISA server ("CONNECT mybox:443 HTTP/1.1") and it works 100%.

If there was a firewall that did content-inspection, it might notice 
that you weren't talking SSL and stop the connection. But I think those 
would be far and few between.

I'm trying to change that VNC "Add New Client" dialog to support Proxy 
settings, but my C/C++/Windows is rusty. I've just gotten hold of Visual 
Studio 6, so I'm hoping I'll be able to make that work soon - will let 
you know.

Cheers,
Graeme
