Couldn't you change the firewall to allow tcp port 9418, or forward
that port over a ssh connection? I think it will give faster service.

After much searching for something I half-remembered, I discovered
http://stats.workbuffer.org/irclog/koha/2010-08-11#i_484170
where Galen says "clone over http is now working again" and "it was a
change in the apache config that broke it; few enough users of
clone-over-http that I don't thnk anybody had noticed" but you already
know that.
