Thanks, but that still doesn't solve the core problem of how the server knows someone is trying to connect to it without continually asking the mediator? It must still poll the mediator to know a client is trying to contact it because the client cannot directly connect to the server, e.g. firewall. If you've got thousands of servers, that's going to be a strain on the mediator server. Is there an alternative to all the servers constantly polling the mediator?
