Thank you all for all those information. I didn't know about that second rsync mode and I thought I could do with that (after socksified), but in fact for some reason rsync stop after several seconds ... maybe some problem on my office firewall ... I tried to use several implementation of socks client (dante, tsocks and even recompiled rsync with socks-4.3 but it didn't work). Finally I succeed in having tsocks working with ftp, lftp ... so I guess I'm going to use yam to mirror using lftp. Thank you all.
