Hello all!
I will certainly take a look at NX then, as well. As far as IOCs and
the network setup, I'm not too sure. To be honest, I am fairly new to
the world of EPICS, and this is the first time I've had to worry about
the networking side of things.
As far as the netcat utility, I have actually used it and found it
quite useful in the past. Yesterday my searches led me to a website
with a few netcat commands for forwarding UDP over TCP, but
unfortunately I didn't have any luck with them. Perhaps I'll have to
try again.
Thank you for your suggestions!

I do something very similar but with a nx server/client architecture.
Have a look at freenx and nxclient (nomachine.com)
The idea is that you do not forward the PV directly, but a display with
the values of the PV. The nx protocol is TCP based, use ssl encryption
(over ssh), and use compression.
With a gateway over the internet, you will probably lose most of your
UDP datagrams anyway, plus there is the network latency, etc.
I heard that a secure epics gateway is being developed though.
How far are you from the IOCs ?
