No.  Sorry to confuse things.

My Dom-0 has its own IP address.  I had failed to map a firewall port to
the Dom-0 ssh port.  It had never been necessary for me to access Dom-0
remotely before.

I was totally unaware of IPMI until I encountered that article grumbling
about IPMI security.  I did not even know that I had IPMI on my server -
a fairly low-cost Supermicro box.
