You need a middle tier for this - some people have reported that zedebee is
good for this - It's a proxy offering compression and encryption. It also
manages better (larger) packet sizes for the over the WAN connection which
is where FB falls down at the moment (too many small packets for good
speed). I use zebedee for replication services (wroks well) but I don't know
how well it performs on a C/S type connection for an end user.
