Thank you for the response. The security group has put a wrinkle in this
setup since they won't allow any type of SSH tunneling. I am unable to
open any ports from the clients to the server, and no SSH tunneling. I
started looking at bbproxy. Is it possible to have the main Hobbit sever
pulldata from the bbproxy server, instead of the bbproxy server pushing
data to the main hobbit server? I thought to have the Windows clients send
data to a hobbit server in their dmz which would be a bbproxy server, then
have the main hobbit server pulldata from this bbproxy server. These
Windows clients don't have Cygwin or SSH. Any ideas? Thank you for your
time.

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.
