No, one server and (possibly multiple) client(s).

The client end.

Correct, although it's not so much about getting through the firewall as
just establishing an encrypted connection across the internet. I'm looking
for an alternative to SSL (I presume that the omniORB SSL implementation is
not interoperable with other ORBs) and VPN's (which require some client-side
administration to setup).
