I was looking at this 6 mos. or so ago and questioned Jeff Hill on a
trip down to Los Alamos.  It seems to me that we got it to work if we
could force the connection through the localhost port (by setting some
environment variable) but not over a normal port that could go to
another node.  Neither of us had any time to look into this at the time.

Jeff, do you remember our discussions?

Please let me know if you have any success.
