This all for develop in two machines, but having database and svn common en one machine.
Postgres is installed in both machines, but one of them(prefer
client) has firewall and short all connections to other(server).

Agreed, however the port numbers that the administrator allows to be connected to will usually be severely restricted for security reasons.

Specifically, if you can use someone else's computer to connect to the SMTP port on any computer in the world, you have got yourself an excellent way of hiding where your spam is coming from. For that reason, a lot of mail systems will refuse to receive mail from any system which is known as an open proxy.
