I didn't know, was just asking.

if all communication (eg to an agent on the real-server)
is run on the director by ssh, then you only have one extra port
(the sshd port) exposed on the real-server. I'm prepared to
defend doing that to someone who it concerned about security.
As long as you're only doing this every 15secs or so,
I would hope it wouldn't put too much load on the director.
