jAccording with the scenario attached, client application tries first to establish a communication with the server one via rmissh.
Since server is behind a firewall, that denies all traffic from client to server, pamr backup should succeed. Instead, this does not happen, despite of setting up all possible timeouts associated with rmissh, such as:

    <prop key="proactive.communication.rmissh.connect_timeout" value="2000" />
    <prop key="proactive.communication.rmissh.gc_period" value="2000" />
    <prop key="proactive.communication.rmissh.gc_idletime" value="2000" />

Such a behaviour let client keep indefinitely trying to connect.

Please, note that without firewall rmissh communication works properly.
