I was not suggesting to tunnel over your server, but to your server.  
Your server already contains a control infrastructure. If you'd go  
this route, your server would translate your proprietary protocol into  
VNC commands and back. Depending on the complexity of your protocol,  
this may be easier or harder than re-implementing and maintaining your  
entire client (which, as far as I understand, is mostly equivalent to  
a VNC server but using a different protocol) on the Mac side.
