Using proxy to access database

Hi guys,
I’ve mais rails code on one machine and the database in the other,
sometime ago the connection between the both was straightforward, for
example:
ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
:adapter=>“mysql”,
:host=>“ip.to.other.host”,
:database=>“databasename”,
:username=>“something”,
:password=>"*******"
)

But now I’ve a proxy between the two machines, so to access the database
machine i’ve to tell ActiveRecord to use the proxy, how to I tell this
to activerecord ?

(i know, for example, to use a proxy with net/http I only 've to do
require ‘net/http’)

proxy_addr = 'your.proxy.host'
proxy_port = 8080
        :
Net::HTTP::Proxy(proxy_addr, proxy_port).start('www.example.com')

{|http|
# always connect to your.proxy.addr:8080
:
}
Tks in advance,
Ze Maria
