Oh forgot the *discovery* part in my last email. You need to make sure 
Avahi/Bonjour/Zeroconf works (they are the same thing), and possibly 
mdns based name resolution too. You'll want UDP 5353 open for that. 
Possibly some others too, but that is generic and beyond pulse specifics 
so the info should be googleable for that seeing as I don't know off the 
top of my head.
