Can we map a internal IP/Port to an external internet physical IP/Port?

The answer to that question depends on where you want it.

The list of answers isn't that long...  :)

If you're in Mountain View, the infrastructure is already available, so it can be done on the fly, just need to get a signoff from Operations Security first.

If you're in any other office, it'll depend on a) available external address space being available (in a couple offices, it isn't), b) getting the infrastructure changes in place to handle it, which in turn will have to be pushed through change control and will probably take 2 to 3 weeks to accomplish.

I'd like to know more about this project.

Hi,

I am in Taipei office. Sorry for the late responding. I think we figure out a way not to use external IP now. Thank Dave, Michal, and Archel for responding me. So, I guess this request can be close as for now :P

As for the project, I am part of the Hasal project. That is, a project that aims to test performance gap between Chrome and Firefox. We was setting up a website that others can access from Mozilla (without VPN) and trigger a run. The server can the send signal internally to the slave client inside the company to trigger runs. After running tests, the result can be send back to server for further processing and access from outside of mozilla vpn.

Thanks and sorry again for bothering you people.
