Colin,

Good question !

I think you don't have optons beside open in your firewall the ports for
the secondary connection (event ports).

I will say what I think about, not sure how it really works (Never used
events). The Server specifies to the client what the secondary port is,
since the client doesn 't need a frebird.conf file, basically, just the
client library and message files.

If I am correct in my assumption that the server speficies the aux port,
what about if you define port 3051 on remote1 and 3052 on remote2, and
in ZeBeeDee Client config file change you configuration to:

3051:<ip-addr of server1>:3051
3052:<ip-addr of server2>:3052

Maybe it works.

Now a question to the gurus.

Could be a possibility for the client to specify the secondary
connection port in the connection string ?


see you !
