Obbit RE: [hobbit] network configuration

I believe you can also send hobbit server via http(port 80). Found this
snippet under 'man bb':

 Send the same status message, but using  HTTP  protocol  via  the  web-
  servers' bbmessage.cgi script:
  $      $BB      http://bb.foo.com/cgi-bin/bbmessage.cgi      "status
       www,foo,com.http green `date` Web OK"


This helps if your firewall/DMZ already allows port 80 traffic.

I'll take a stab at this...
You have some clients in the DMZ, and the hobbit server is on the internal network, yes?

The DMZ must be on a specific subnet(s), so why couldn't the firewall be set to forward 1984 to your server from that subnet only?   Instead of client -> server of
<anything> -> 1984 -> hobbit server, then if frex your DMZ is 10.0.0.0/8, something like
10.0.0.0/8 -> 1984 -> hobbit server.

HTH, unless i've badly misunderstood the issue.
