Yes, but I'm accessing them through my remote[public] IP address.
The idea behind it is to have a fifo that works across the network
through an NFS mount. Is that possible?

I serched google for 'socket file', and all that I got was 'fifo', but
they are to be used only on a singl machine for communication between
2 or more applications, but couldn't find any file abstraction for
communication for processes on distinct machines. Do you know of any
such thing, cause I couldn't find any.
