If I have an https webservice behind a firewall on a machine (A) that I cannot access, but access to a machine on the same network (B), from where I can call the webservice on machine A.

What is the best way of talking with the webservice on machine A, from the outside via machine B (that I access via VPN)?

I can obviously create a service with a matching interface on machine B, and call the methods on the webservice on machine A, and return the result. But I fear for the overhead.

Is there another way? Can i somehow forward the request?
