Question: Integrating External Data Sources While Running Behind A Firewall

Hi,
I am not sure if I understand correctly how the external data sources
(i.e.
BioMart) are integrated into Galaxy. However, I believe that the
Galaxy
sends an HTTP request to the external data source with the parameter
GALAXY_URL - and this URL is used later by the external data source to
send
parameters for a subsequent request resubmission. Without going to
further
details (about sync and async method), it seems to me that in any case
the
URL given in GALAXY_URL must be a publicly available URL (available
from/by
the external source).
1) But what if I am running my own Galaxy behind a firewall that does
not
allow access from the outside?
2) If I cannot make our firewall open, is there a way (perhaps in the
Galaxy
configuration) to change the host name that Galaxy is using when
creating
its GALAXY_URL parameter? That would allow me have a "third-party" URL
where
Galaxy and external data sources can communicate together.
Many thanks for any help,
Martin
