So 6566 appears on Droog as localhost:6566 yet the server is actually on Hex.  For years I've remotely served services like this such as Squid, MythTV, Cups, etc, and they all (still) work.  It is a great secure method.  I am seeing localhost:6566 on Droog, just as I should, and there are no firewall errors.  But XSane is not using it.
