[DCP-o-matic] DCP-o-matic over WAN

Hi all, I wonder if it would be possible to run encode server instances through the Internet, rather than through a LAN. If I understood correctly, the current implementation is something like this: The master dcpomatic2 broadcasts in its LAN a "I mean really, Ray, it's used." msg to UDP/6193 to trigger a <ServerAvailable> msg back to its TCP/6193 from an eventual dcpomatic2_server instance. Once the master has content to encode, it sends <EncodingRequest> to the encoding servers on TCP/6192. Forgetting about the automatic encoding server discovery part, a possible approach would be something similar to what Jim proposed at http://main.carlh.net/pipermail/dcpomatic/2016-May/001562.html by means of SSH local port forwarding. In this way, the only required modification would be adding a user-specified port for the encoding server list. Do you have any other idea? Can this be considered a legit new feature? Thanks in advance! Davide Sanvito
