The usual way to solve this is to set the firewall to NAT the port to
the server behind the firewall and have flash connect to the firewall on
the NATed port. In a made up case, NATing port 2980 on the firewall's
ethernet 0 at 200.200.200.1 to port 2980 on the server 192.168.1.7 on
the firewall's ethernet 1 interface, causes access to public address
200.200.200.1 port 2980 to be transparently remapped to 192.168.1.7:2980
on the private net attached to the firewall.
If you have public addresses behind the firewall, you could do the NAT
on one of these servers.
This is common. I use it to access administrative ports(eg SSH) on
servers that are on private 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x subnets that can
not be used on the Internet.

Hi,
We have a system of distributed systems that use Flash to control
various parts by sending commands over a socket.
The problem is that these systems sit behind a firewall that only
allows access from a specific IP address - our work offices...
We want to be able to connect to these systems from the outside
world - they also serve their Flash via a webserver so I set up a
proxy on our office to allow us to connect to the webservers.
The problem is that Flash Player does not use the proxy server for
socket connections - it connects directly to the IP address derived
from the URL of the SWF. Is there any way I can make Flash use a
proxy server for this???
