using the above requires 2 things:

1. there is an alias 'database' defined on machine2 in firebird/aliases.conf
2. port 3050 is open to incoming connections ... and possibly port 2401 - but
I can't remember for sure (It needs to be forwarded when tunneling a firebird
connection over SSH)

don't forget that you'll need to reconfigure whatever routers/firewalls
you have between the 2 machines in order to let the firebird traffic through.
