This is being done.  I didn't even think about what the firewall was
blocking.  The problem still persists though.  I don't want customers to
even see the directories that contain my apps.

By hiding these directories from external access, I'll get some peace of
mind also.  I worry about insecure apps that may give an attacker unwanted
privileges and/or information.
