all tcp connection through socks proxy

Is it possible to route all my connections to internet to go through a sock proxy in a RHEL 4 machine. I need to connect to a remote MySql server using socks proxy.

Thanks.

• you can use ssh to build a socks5 proxy for your mysql ports, or use something like squid for a complete socks5 proxy solution on your rhel4 machine.
