    It's perfectly permissible to call outside services, and you're not the first person to ask. Giving you a single IP limits our ability to move your site between servers between servers (should one die or become too heavily loaded) and also to deploy your site to multiple servers and load-balance between those.

    We're trying to come up with a good solution.

    As a temporary meassure, your can figure out the IP of the server you're currently running on, and open up for that IP.

    I guessed the single IP issues :)

    I'm getting the error

    provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server

    and i'm pretty sure that i'm not using named pipes, are outbound connections allowed on port 1433
