Bummer.
Well I'm running 3 coda servers.. one of which is outside my firewall and
behind it's own firewall.
Soon I'll add a 4th server, also behind it's own firewall.
"Co-Located" probably isn't really the definition you mean. I suspect "well
connected" is a better requirement, in which case the number of
intervening firewalls shouldn't really matter. So long as the connectivity is
good.
In my case, it's good.. but I also need firewall security at both locations.

Oh boy.
