XML Support

We will also add support for the new SocketFactory option in XML. The SocketFactory can be added using the standard mechanism for declaring classes in Geode's XML - implementing declarable and passing in a provided set of properties

<pool>  <socket-factory>   <class-name>com.company.app.CustomSocketFactory</class-name>
   <parameter name="proxyHost">
     <string>proxy.company.com</string>
   </parameter>  </socket-factory>
</pool>

Performance Impact

Connecting through a proxy may impact the performance of client/server messaging, but it is up to the user to decide if they want to use this feature or not. SNI proxies do require the use of TLS, which also adds overhead.
