Bamboo does not, but you don't need it to.  You just need an XML-RPC  
library that supports HTTP proxies, and a proxy running outside your  
firewall.  I don't have any experience setting this kind of thing up  
myself, but it shouldn't be too bad, and it's definitely not Bamboo/ 
OpenDHT specific.
