Thanks a lot Christophe for your clarifications...I will try and I will let
you know!

Is this any different than if these were for example http servers
residing on the internal servers? Can't something like
SPICE_PROXY=external-host.example.com:8080 remote-viewer
spice://internal-host:5900
be managed by the squid proxy? The client can connect to the proxy using
the external address, tells it what it wants to connect to, and the
proxy forwards the connection.

Regarding to sizing the squid server... has anyone tested how many
Microsoft Windows 7 (or 8, or 10) can be supported by an unique squid proxy
server?

Thanks a lot.
