run specjour on machine outside of the network

Hi,

We have a i7 staging server (linux), which I would like to abuse for fast distributed testing. Is this possible (maybe VPN)?

Any kind of advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I did some initial research on this, but never tested it. If you establish a VPN connection to the server, then run mdns to hook that vpn connected server up to bonjour, you should be able to see it and distribute tests to it. But dedicating a box to mdns locally may prove more beneficial to just run tests on it. Unless you happen to have a firewall box laying around anyway.

You could also try Hydra (https://github.com/ngauthier/hydra) which was created with remote servers in mind (via ssh).
