Thanks all for the information regarding the above.  Have a new twist to it
though, customer is using NAT through his firewall and the client is trying
to access the non-routeable (inside) IP address of the NBU master.  The
response he got from VRTS support is that NAT is not supported.  Has anyone
had any experience with this setup?

TIA
Bruce

If you're on 4.5, this reference is a bit out of date. I recommend the
NBU 4.5 System Admin Guide instead.  There is a chapter in it
essentially like the referenced extract, but including new features such
as "no connect-back".
