What's your record for the most levels of nested/chained remoting/virtualization?
I think my current record is:
* RDP from Linux endpoint to locally hosted Windows VM
* Proprietary remoting protocol with Windows-only client connecting to Windows VM on customer infrastructure
* SSH from that VM to Linux bare metal box in customer lab
* SSH from *that* box to actual DUT
There might have been one more hop of SSH somewhere in the chain I can't remember now…

I'm in dire need of an RDP "mouse jiggler"! When you have a security-martinet IT team, but need to read stuff on two connections while building on the 3rd, the two you aren't activating time out in like 5 minutes. IT says "As defined".
So, I need a way to send a jiggle or something to the inactive servers so that they think they are doing something and don't time out!
