Hello Andre,
I will answer to your post tonight. In short, the way is to have all your stuff binded to the standard Apache's 80 port trought sockets translators/listeners able to use the 80 port to provide the requests/replies over the web and to have your server-sided Rev apps connectables to the Apache default port from they own private/protected (> 1024) port. I use, for my own, a 10 lines .PHP script as the sockets translator. You can find it in searching the archives.
Because lots to do until 21 PM, more detals tonight :)
Best,

Hi Folks,
I was hired to build a simple app here in brazil, I should take care of managing contacts and projects for a small company. As a common practice here in the country, they changed the project as the game was going and now the only thing it doesn't do is to babysit the CEO daughter, but okay, I could cope with the spec changes, it's just a huge db anway. Now the sky has fallen, they want their app to talk to the other franchise apps, meaning theres a company here at Rio de Janeiro, another at Sao Paulo and yet another at Porto Alegre, and they want to exchange data, they want the program to run everywhere and they've got lot's of firewalls since they are inside a university.
I was going like this, client app in Rev, MySQL running in a server, everyone access the server. This ain't working!!!! They can't open connections to the server running at my ISP, I can, I tested it in three machines on different networks.... they can't change their firewalls policies and they want to share data!!!!
I am now thinking in doing the other way, I make the server using my webserver stack and valentina, and they access it by the web, they can pass thru the firewall to do webrequests... but that's ugly I hate deploying apps using web interface. It's just simple DBs with 6 tables and couple joins... should be easy!!!!
I look forward to some advise for I must deliver this yesterday, and they just phoned to say that the other companies will use the program, that's why I am in a hurry... that's also the money that should take me to malta. And since they are publishing and marketing company they know nothing of IT they think that for them to use an app and for outside-of-lan-ambient people to use the same app is trivial.... hell!!!!! firewalls!!! fake IPs!!!!!!
anyone here got an advise or idea, I am begining again from the scratch so any advise is good.
andre
PS: and if I tell I need more time, they just dump me and use another contractant.... pretty cool ain't it.
