I have a situation where I need to provide access to a web application that is on private space behind a firewall. That application uses java web start. I set up a simple NAT gateway but the web start fails at the download stage. It looked like it was simply a case of web programmers using urls that pointed to internal servers (for instance trying to download http://my.development.box/blah.jnlp) but hacking that with hosts files on the clients doesn't fix it. I'm not much of a java programmer so is there something I should know about java web start? It's almost as though it breaks on NAT like... ipsec...or something... I'd like to buy a clue...
