The problem long-term is that our risk management team does not allow outside access to our servers.  We can get a temporary exemption, but it would have to be temporary.  However, we would have flexibility with how we define temporary, within reason.  Months won't be a problem, a year likely won't be a problem, beyond that likely will.  Is that time frame sufficient?
