One problem is here - this is saying to jabberd on MachineA "please listen
on socket MachineB:5999" - it would be pretty amazing if that would work :-)

Because the IP address is wrong (see above)

Unfortunately, the jabberd seems to be unable to redirect to this component "message" or "iq" packets coming from classic clients !!!

An empty <ip/> tag just means that jabberd will listen on INADDR_ANY for 
connections coming in for port 5999. THis is fine. The routing problem 
you describe, is probably separate from this issue. What is the 'to' address
set to on the packets from the clients that don't make it to the component?
