        Actually, ARD2 does support running against a remote control
(VNC) server on a different port, but it's awkward. I don't know
about ARD3.

        Does anyone know how the AES encryption is managed? Andrew
suggested SSH, but that wouldn't necessarily be AES (although AES is
the default in Tiger's OpenSSH).

If you need to manage multiple computers from outside the firewall, then the
proper way to do this is via a VPN, which takes care of the portmapping
problem anyway.

<higher ed>
Firewall? Academic freedom! We don't need no steenkin' firewall!
</higher ed>

(Actually we do have one, and we're in the middle of a sea change
toward very corporate-style network management. The change
management for that has been fascinating.)
