WebForm ReportViewer in remote mode deployment ?

Is the ReportViewer completely Web Server based wrt to its interactions with the ReportServer   What I mean is that I'd like to ensure that we can configure our report servers behind the firewall and load balancers - so that the client's browser needs to have no access via URL to the report server for anything (like paging the report, exporting to excel, etc.)

I'm assuming all of that kind of activity is handled by the ReportViewer control on the web server rather than requests directly from the browser... right

Thanks,
J.

    The client does not need direct access to the report server.  All communication from the client is to the web control, where it is relayed/modified/validated before the web control sends a request to the report server.
