Hello, this is not an answer to my initial question, but I settled with passive clients. Its far easier, and works like a charm with 2 (local) storage daemon to backup a remote client. Not ideal from the perspective of opening up the client, but I think it would not have worked otherwise do to our constraints of port usage, and having 2 storage daemons.
