That is a bit of a bummer, but this is where my idea of having a
designated "always-on" machine inside the LAN that can do the same
job, and then just writing server/client applications to do the
receiving-external-command-and-passing-to-local-machine bit.

However, if the point of using WoL is to save power by not having a
machine on 24/7 then this idea is kind of void.
