Hey Yao,
The buildslave is responsible for starting the connection, so the
buildmaster does not need to have direct access to it. I myself run a
buildslave behind a firewall/NAT, and there is no problem. All you need
to do is to set up the buildslave (as described in the wiki), tell me
about it (so that I can include it on buildmaster and generate a
password for you), and then start it.
The buildmaster will issue build requests to the buildslave, which will
build, run the tests, and the report back to buildmaster. That's it.
Nobody needs to have access to the buildslaves.
Cheers,
