If you want to read the docs and have questions, I might be able to help.  Can't promise, though. As long as you're thinking of an intermediate layer, why not put a single (real) ServerSocket on the client side of the firewall and distribute the messages from there to the clients? Good luck. -Ron -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/824209#824209] Start a new discussion in JBoss Remoting at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
