I doubt that Rim would care which source port the data's coming from. More importantly, are you having a problem connecting them to your internal network's BB server from outside the company? I'm not sure of the security of the BB server, so this may make your systems very insecure, but if you wanted your internet server visible to the internet, you'd add the following to a typical restrictive netfilter firewall configration. iptables -A PREROUTING --destination ${IN_ADDR} -p tcp --dport 3101 -j DNAT --to ${BB_SERVER} iptables -A FORWARD --destination ${BB_SERVERR} -p tcp --dport 3101 -j ACCEPT
