A proxy for what? The modern SL viewer makes an initial login 
connection, UDP "connections" to multiple simulators, CAPS server 
connections (HTTP/SSL) to each of those simulators, connections to the 
web through the built-in browser, Vivox server connections (SSL on a 
strange port apparently), and RTP connections all over the place. Were 
you referring to a proxy for a specific one of those, or for everything?
