Great, thank you Andy/Wei.  The doc is what I needed.  Overlooked it (I see it's rather recent, from last June)...

Subject: Re: data server behind firewall

Hi Albert,

Indeed, only a proxy server would work here. The only other option is to
open up the xroot port in the firewall. Some, sites prefer that option
since xroot protocol is rarely if ever exploited unlike other protocols.

The particular reference is:
