[hobbit] Proxy

[Brodie, Kent]

Followup:

What is the typical or preferred way of "running bbproxy" ?   Do I
simply fire up the bbproxy executable, feeding it the few options it
needs, or do I set up a "hobbit server" on that node with
specially-configured files found in ../server/etc?

Since your cluster nodes can talk to the head node, and the head node
can talk to the hobbit server, the most simple solution would be to run
bbproxy on the head node of the cluster.

Your cluster nodes would then use the head node's bbproxy as their
BBDISPLAY server. bbproxy on the head node would be configured to
forward messages to the real hobbit server.
