netflix streaming is not allowed to japan where we live.  i can tunnel
to a server in one of my racks in the states.  the tokyo border is a
soekris running FreeBSD 8.  it will kinda look like

               .------------------------------.

    % cat /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
    iij:
     set device PPPoE:vr0
     set MRU 1454
     set MTU 1454
     accept CHAP
     enable lqr
     add default HISADDR
     nat enable yes
     nat port tcp 192.168.0.33:51332 51332
     nat port udp 192.168.0.33:51332 51332
     nat port tcp 192.168.0.12:22 42022
     set authname foo
     set authkey bar

there seem to be at least two sets of problems

  o what are the ip addys and ports involved in netflix streaming set-up
    and delivery?

  o how to tunnel just those to/from a server in the states?

anyone with suggestions?
