IIUC, the two sites cannot be reached directly from each other (so http
or ssh access is out of the question.  Would it be possible to have a
setup with two repos at each site, one local working repo, and one
mirror of the remote.  Ideally, you'd have a procmail setup that applied
patches automatically (examples on the darcs site, I think), and a
mirror setup with 'darcs send' target addresses that are distributed to
both sites.

Given sites A and B and _w for working, _m for mirror, the patch flow
would look like

darcs pull A_m -> A_w
  (work and record in A_w)
darcs send A_w -> B_m, A_m

darcs pull B_m -> B_w
  (work and record in B_w)
darcs send B_w -> A_m, B_m

You'd need to be careful never to 'pull' from or 'push' into the
mirrors, of course.  Would something like this work?
