from the client it's a SSL VPN to the NS through the FW, the NS sits
entirely in the DMZ, external FW allows 443 through and is doing NAT. From
the DMZ to the inside (where the WI and citirix farm is) we allow 1494,
3010, 443, 80, 22, 53 & 2598. The client PC can use PN to get to the farm
and launch apps with smart card auth, so it's just the WI that's not
cooperating.

We're trying to use the WI has the default web page that the NS presents to
the user.
