Thank you everyone for the suggestions. The easiest option for us would be doing data transfers over https/443, that's why we mentioned web services.
However, a colleague of mine mentioned that they investigated using Stunnel (www.stunnel.org), a universal SSL wrapper, to encrypt their DSO communications between servers over 443. I am looking into it, and will let you know how it goes. If anyone else has done anything else with 443, please let me know.

My customer cannot use DSO due to port and encryption level restrictions. Currently, we are using a solution provided to us by another group. This solution uses IBM WebSphere MQ and a product called ARSXML (not be to confused with ARXML, ARSXML is a product by N-Tuition, a Remedy partner out of Germany). This solution has some design pitfalls (on the ARSXML side) that are proving to be a challenge to overcome. So we want to see what other options out there might exist. One thought that was brought up several years back with this customer was to design and build a solution on Remedy Web Services, transferring tickets through SOAP, Mid-Tier to Mid-Tier. I believe they had a design prototype back then, but I was not involved in it, nor does anything exist of it. Has anyone done this, or some other solution that they could share? Any ideas or input anyone has is much appreciated...
