Depending on the nature of the proxy involved, it may not be necessary to use
YAZProxy. In particular, the YAZ toolkit supports a special connection syntax
to direct Z39.50 and SRU traffic through a proxy.

For example, suppose you have a Squid proxy running on localhost and listening
on port 210, and further suppose that the proxy is configured to allow
connecting to the target Z39.50 server(s).  In that case, with yaz-client you
can do something like this:

yaz-client connect:localhost:3128,tcp:lx2.loc.gov:210/LCDB

and that will get you a proxied Z39.50 connection to the Library of Congress.

As another example, the following would open a proxied connection to the GBV
(Gemeinsame Bibliotheksverbund) SRU server:

yaz-client connect:localhost:3128,http://sru.gbv.de:80/gvk

Translating that to Koha, a system preference or a new column in the
z3950servers table could be added to specify a proxy to use.
