Re:

Sean,

If a VPN connection is not an option for you, then try looking into port=20
forwarding with SSH.  As a last alternative, you could try polling the=20
various IP addresses you need to connect to.  Kind of messy, but it might=
=20
work for you.  Ultimately, you may have to sit down and have a chat with=20
your system administrator to see if you can open up a port for your=20
application.

You realize that XML-RPC over BEEP is a symmetrical, bi-directional=20
protocol.  Once a connection is established and an XML-RPC channel is=20
started, you can make calls in both directions over the same channel.  In=
=20
my case, I use a TLS tuning profile on channel 1 and an XML-RPC profile o=
n=20
channel 3.  Odd channel numbers are assigned to the initiator of the=20
connection.  I then use channel 3 for remote invocations on both the=20
server and client.  Most of my XML-RPC calls are made on the server but=20
occasionally I need to invoke a call on the client.

Alternatively, you could create a new channel from the server to the=20
client.  This would be labeled channel 2 because the listener (server) is=
=20
starting the new channel.   In this case, you would have the client makin=
g=20
XML-RPC calls on the server over channel 3, and the server would be makin=
g=20
remote procedure calls over channel 2 to the client.

Basically, what I am saying is that if you have one connection you have i=
t=20
all.  I doesn't matter which way the connection is made.  As long as you=20
can get a connection, you can use XML-RPC in both directions.
