|I'm working on a system that at its core has an UDP proxy and it

i did a similar toy to reports the memory usage under heavy load.
I can mail the source code privately if you want to look around it
|Does this seem reasonable?
I don't know the details of your proxy ... it may depends.
You can easly create a kernel thread to send/receive UDP packets.
You can also track down each syscall called by the equivalent
proxy running in user space
|If so, can somebody give me a hint

|kernel something like "resend all that's received by this socket
|to that one")
Why don't use an iptables rule?
