On of my customers is trying to deploy oracle's dicoverer on a IAS server. The docs say that in order to make it work through a firewall it need an IIOP proxy. The docs say IIOP doesn't use fixed ports or an allocated port range, so the only safe way to use it through a firewall is a IIOP proxy. Does anybody know of such a thing for IPFilter?
The firewall is a FreeBSD 4-7-p9.
If ipf doesn't have a builtin proxy, does anybody know of a user-space one which runs on FreeBSD or Linux?
Thanks in advance.

Oh dear. Corba through a firewall isn't much fun. Iona do wonderwall, which I have heard works....
If you want to do it yourself, then you could proxy the service yourself using Java & RMI ( which you can get to work though a single port ). Should be fairly straightforward, if you have the idls. Using DSI/DII could be a pain though, if you dont have 'em
Cheers
