If you start rsync on the intranet server, you can send files in either direction, as Wayne said. If for some reason you need to start rsync on the internet server (e.g., the internet server automatically backs up the intranet one with rsnapshot), have the intranet server log into the internet server with SSH, forwarding a port on the internet server to its own SSH port (-R PP:localhost:22 where PP is a port of your choice). Then have rsync on the internet server access the intranet server via the forwarded SSH port (--rsh="ssh -p PP" and give localhost instead of the intranet server's hostname). This is similar to method 3 on http://rsync.samba.org/firewall.html .
