Ok. Let's suppose that you have the following configuration:

    hostA1 10.0.0.1 running gs App1 and gpbs server1 
    with DISPLAY=10.0.0.2:0.0

    hostA2 212.87.205.57 running gs App2 and gpbs server2
    with DISPLAY=212.87.205.58:0.0

    and 

    hostX3 with two ethernet cards eth0 212.87.205.58
                               and eth1 10.0.0.2
           running a X server, display :0, screen :0.0

Now, on hostX3, you copy data from a window of App1, and paste it to a
window of App2.

Please explain  how this  can be  done by your  gpbs server1  and gpbs
server2. Remember that gpbs server1 is  on a host on a private network
and that no  routing exists between 10.0.0.0/8 and  the Internet where
gpbs server2 is. 

The only contact point and possible communication channel between App1
and App2 is the X server on hostX3.
