The organization I work for has four main
establishments. Typically, someone will go "on
mission" to another establishment and perform a backup
of his laptop. Since his dsm.opt points to a server
that that is hundreds, if not, thousands of kilometers
away, this backup will be done over the WAN and not
the usual LAN. Occasionally, this user might even
attempt to backup 1 or 2 GBs over the WAN. This
obviously causes some problems.

What to do about this? Blocking the port in the
firewall comes to mind but that is not a real answer.
Has anybody encountered this problem and what, if
anything, did you do? Thank you...
