If you want to avoid firewall issues, then you need an implementation
that support HTTP with Ajax Push/Comet support[1].

Grizzly Comet supports asynchronous push over HTTP. Any clients (like a
Java clients) can send http request and received a response in the
format they want: JavaScript, Serialized Java Objects, JSON, XML, etc.
Grizzly also support a more low level API (Grizzly Comet build on top of
it), which is called Grizzly ARP (Asynchronous Request Processing)[2].
Depending on what you want to do, you can decide which API fits your
gaming needs :-).
Now if you want to choose an Ajax Push/Comet server, I would decide
among open source one (lightstreamer cost $$$): Jetty, Tomcat 6 or
GlassFish should be your candidate :-)
Thanks
