RE: connections between master server and slave servers

[Schiza, Apostolia (ISS Atlanta)]

My fault... I am sorry.
The master accesses the slave with 'post' requests.
Basically a command line program sends a post request from the master to the
slave, which instructs the slave to run some scripts... The scripts create
files, which I would like to transfer back to the master and terminate the
user's connection with the slave...
I am not sure if all these are possible...

Thanks for your help

You never said how the master accesses the slaves.  There are many ways 
to prevent access to the slaves, but without knowing how you are doing 
the access, it's hard to suggest a fix.

Some possibilities include using LWP from master and using non-standard port

on slave with check for master IP.
