Consider NAT firewalls into private LANs.
I maintain a mirror of my work archive at home. I maintain a mirror of my
home archive (some categories only, actually) at work.
Given my firewall rules, I am able to tunnel into work and access my work
machine from home. I am not able to access my home machine from work. As
a result, I pull the work archive into a mirror at home and push the home
archive into a mirror at work.
