Hi- can someone briefly explain how the bbproxy stuff works? We have a cluster whose "head node" is accessible, but the cluster nodes are hidden behind that server.
If someone can explain how something like this is set up, that'd be super..

Since your cluster nodes can talk to the head node, and the head node can talk to the hobbit server, the most simple solution would be to run bbproxy on the head node of the cluster.
Your cluster nodes would then use the head node's bbproxy as their BBDISPLAY server. bbproxy on the head node would be configured to forward messages to the real hobbit server.
