Yeah, that'd be nice too, except I'm in the field more often than not and getting a VPN connection through a NAT/PAT firewall is dicey at best. Even worse when it's never the same firewall two days in a row. I find it's easier to just tunnel the ports I need over SSH. As soon as my network comes up, the tunnels get created and I never even have to think about it. -- Be big. Be meaty. Be Frank.
