Confirmed that this was indeed the case. The firewall appliance in
question did not recognize 9279 as an authorized port. But instead of
blocking it like a normal firewall, it goes one step further and
inspects the connection (that's why both sides could talk to each other
initially for about half a second). It didn't recognize that as an
authorized protocol, and so blocked off the connection.

I now have to ask if they will open it up for me, but that's another
matter entirely.

Thanks Colin for helping debug this.
