[FreeNX-kNX] Workstation without Fixed IP as FreeNX server

[LROUFAIL at nc.rr.com]

This would require that the firewall route traffice to that server
through that port, right?  I am thinking about a corporate scenario
where the workstation may not be directly accessible through a firewall.

Thanks,

Lawrence
