Its not that easy. Since the svdrp protocol is not not stateless and 
imho broken you cannot just hack something together to act as a proxy.

What one should really do is switch to ids for timers, recordings and 
stuff like that, but as I understand Klaus opposes this, otherwise I'd 
have done it already.

Without that multiple svdrp connections are quite error prone.

Imagine what happens if two svdrp connections both want to delete the 
timer number 13. Most likely timer 13 + 14 will get deleted since you're 
deleting not a timer number but an index in the list of all timers which 
will change after the first delete  ....

Lots of problems ..
