Re: [Bacula-users] Firewall traversal

So I've followed that SSH tunneling article, but I see that the FD on the remote server outside of the firewall is trying to connect to 172.16.x.x, which is what the SD resolves to inside of our network. I've followed the instructions in the article to add the SD FQDN to /etc/hosts to make it resolve to 127.0.0.1, but somehow this 172.16.x.x address is getting passed along.
Does the Bacula Director resolve that FQDN and pass the IP along instead of passing the FQDN? I'm talking about what's specified in bacula-sd.conf.
Thanks!

I'm in a situation where I can't get the ports forwarded, but it would seem that there should be a way to have the SD connect out to the FD or something along those lines to get this working. Is there a way to do that that I've missed in the docs or is really the only way to get this working is to expose the SD?
I highly recommend OpenVPN. It simplifies a great many things.
