Thanks for your suggestion but there is no machine outside the firewall or multihomed.
IAC I don't understand your point. Surely if 5800/5900 were open at the firewall I wouldn't have a problem. So wouldn't your suggested machine also have the same problem getting through the firewall? It's academic anyway since there is no such machine in the environment I am dealing with. respect....
