Well, they only firewall outgoing http and _normally_ all incoming, but 
they have opened up the incoming ports for our streams.

It would be simple to get the server that recieves the yp commands 
(which is apache), just add the command:

Listen 666

to httpd.conf and then make sure any firewall is open and people in my 
situation should be able to be listed.
