Did you really _try_ it?
IMHO this doesn't work because DCOM embeds the IP addresses of the
endpoints in the content. If you use a normal plug the IP header
addresses are changed. This also doesn't solve the callback problem, you
would need plugs into both directions, with registry changes at client
_and_ server.
(Theoretical discussion, I'd never allow DCOM thru a firewall. So I'm not
unhappy that the line level protocol of DCOM is so braindamaged :-)#
