Using the RemoteAuxPort is an option. The problem in my case is that I`m  
joining a group of programmers who don`t really like the idea of a static  
port (probably bad memories from the classic version).

I`ll try to spare some time on the provider and add a "Int32 GetEventPort"  
function ... or property. I would really appreaciate it if you could tell  
me when the port is randomized (for every database connection, at every  
Nth event etc.). I`ll send a "proposal" as soon as I do a few tests on it.

As for "this setting won`t work with ssh", I have done tests. If you wish  
I could post working ZeBeDee configs for further stability tests.
