Just giving my 2cents here: I solved the same problem you're having by using the /etc/hosts file...

In bacula-dir configs, the I've configured the FD Address parameter with the FQDN of the bacula-sd server, and on the bacula-fd client, using the hosts file, I've pointed the FQDN to the IP of the firewall that will translate the address...

Apparently, if you use the FQDN on the bacula-dir configs, I'll only be resolved on the bacula-fd by the time it will send the data to the bacula-sd, so it worked just fine.

My setup is as follows:

Bacula Server (DIR, SD) -> Firewall/NAT -> Server to be backed up (FD)

The FD is accessible from anywhere, but the DIR/SD is not (NAT/FW).

When I start the backup, the Director connects to the FD without a problem, but then when the Director tells the FD to connect back to the SD it fails because of the NAT.  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?
