I suspect you have this situation.

bacula-sd sits in your local network, behind a firewall.

bacula-fd sits in a remote network.

If so, I think you need two bacula-sd declarations:

* one for your local network
* one for your remote client (this one uses the public IP address of 
your firewall).

Storage {
   Name       = DLTRemote
   Address    = your.firewall
   Device     = DLT
}


Storage {
   Name       = DLTLocal
   Address    = your.local.address
   Device     = DLT
}

Your firewall takes incoming requests on address your.firewall and 
redirects them to your.local.address

In short, both Storage resources point to the same bacula-sd.

Use DLTRemote for your remote client.
