I run bacula-dir and bacula-sd in an internal network and a few hosts outside
on the Internet.

When I want to run a job for an external host, the host tells me it can
resolve the storage server. Understandable. There's no DNS that tells about
the internal hosts address.

But even if, the client wouldn't be able to connect since the storage sits in
a private network behind a NAT gateway.

I've read "Dealing with Firewalls"
<http://www.bacula.org/en/rel-manual/Dealing_with_Firewalls.html>, but from my
(limited) understanding an essential part is missing - the part where the
external connection is port forwarded to the internal storage server.

Am I right?

Are there any other 'good solutions' to deal with such a setup? I believe this
is a typical requirement and I would expect there to be more than one approach.

Thanks,

p@rick
