Has anyone experienced using PVM with a fire wall? specifically:

We are using pvm groups and a control process that marshals processing
between a number of clients and server processes on different
machines.

The question is: 
Will this work if the machine running the control process talks to the
clients through one network and the server processes through another
(i.e. two ethernet boards) Will this confuse PVM?  Will it try to use
the default (le0) network for all communications?

If any one's done this or tried something similar I'd appreciate a mail
saying it works or doesn't.

Andrew
