A ServerEndpoint needs to know its external contact identity. In case

connect to.
Correct, that would be the publicly visible address and port.
A ServerEndpoint behind a NAT probably has a private net address/
hostname.
Correct, clients on the net need a public address.
Where do you connect to the proxy server to fetch the external address?
It would require a custom ServerSocketFactory, so that when a Service is
exported using a ServerEndpoint, during the export process, a port is
If you take a look at TcpServerEndpoint.enumerateListenEndpoints where
the TcpEndpoint is created (or fetched) for export, where it is
serialized. You will see there that the endpoint description consists of
host, port and socketFactory.
In the TcpEndpoint this will be used to create the socket. The socket
will be created with the sf.createSocket() call, and after creation the
socket.connect(socketAddress, timeout); will be called.
This socketAddress will always be a InetSocketAddress. Do you see
opportunities to do some translation or lookup in there?
