Hmmh, I remember using sup through a firewall once. IIRC sup uses port
871 and is quite strict about it. If you can trick it somehow, this
shouldn't be a problem. I had something like the following:
localhost:871 -> outsidefirewall:80
outsidefirewall:80 -> supserver:871

The downside is that it requires one box outside the firewall for
redirect. And of course the firewall has to be a fly-through one, not a
proxy thingie.
