[H-GEN] Seti at home

Set up ipchains on your local machine to grab traffic for that server:port
and redirect it through the proxy... would that work?

No - you're right there. The problem is that UQnet blocks all port
80/443 traffic _except_ for the proxy servers. Hence, any stuff sent out
from my PC claiming to be for port 80 at it's destination is unrouted
and vanishes from the ken of man and beast. There's no way of telling
seti at home to tunnel things throught the caching proxy.
