Good article.

It does mention a Gateway that I would need to use. Do I need to set that
up separately or does it work out of the box?

Q: What if I can't communicate via one of these non-standard ports, and
need to connect over HTTP(S) (TCP Ports 80/443)? A: In this situation you
need to connect via a Terminal Server Gateway like 2X Load Balancer for
Windows Terminal Services, Tunnel2, or one of the above mentioned Terminal
Server Add-ons, like Citrix Presentation Server.

In my setup, will I be able to run with the users accessing Mars and have
Mars talk to Earth (TS).

I was also told that I would need an activeX plugin to IE to connect.

In my above scenario with Mars (assuming I can do it this way), would I be
talking to Mars and then Mars talking to the TS and vice versa? I mean
would this allow my to put Earth behind my 2nd firewall, or would the users
need direct access to Earth?
