Binary across a firewall works, I have a custom asp.net app that streams the MDB database when you call it , and another that streams back the new mdb when changes have been made. (it was the only way I could do it due to providers stupid rules, before you all crucify me :P )
it's the http transfer that makes it firewall friendly , as http opens the port to send and recive from the client, so that the http connection can pass across the firewall.
