I have lots of customer systems in that same situation, instead of using hobbitfecth, I use ssh tunnels and configure hobbit clients to connect to localhost.
on the hobbit server, you can setup something running from inittab that does:
ssh user at clienthost -T -n -N -g -x -R1984:localhost:1984
So if the client connects to localhost:1984, it's connecting to the server's hobbit port.

Hi. Is there a way to have the Hobbit server pulldata with hobbitfetch
from Windows Hobbit clients? We have Windows and Solaris clients behind a
firewall and ports 1984, 22, 80, and 443 from the Hobbit server to the
clients are the only ones opened, nothing from the clients to the server.
Hobbitfetch is working perfectly for the Solaris clients, so I was hoping
to do the same thing for the Windows. Any ideas would be greatly
appreciated.
