[p4] Trying to sort out a protection issue between central and outer servers using P4AUTH

Here's what I've got:
   Server B authenticates from server A via P4AUTH
   I have a utility user with admin rights on server A, set with
   a protect line:
      admin user UTIL1 aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa //...
      where aaa... is the ip address of server A)

So far so good, I can run p4 admin using that user account.

What I need is to be able to run p4 admin against server B, from
server A. Every combination of protections I've tried has
produced a permission error. The command line I'd like to run
looks like:

    p4 -u UTIL1 -p bbb.bbb.bbb.bbb:1666 admin checkpoint

I've tried adding these, one at a time and together, to the
protect table on server A:
    admin user UTIL1 proxy-bbb.bbb.bbb.bbb //...
    admin user UTIL1 bbb.bbb.bbb.bbb //...

And these to the protect table on server B (alone and in combo):
    admin user UTIL1 bbb.bbb.bbb.bbb //...
    admin user UTIL1 aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa //...

Same results every time. Anyone have any ideas or see something
I've missed. (Server A is AIX and server B, the outer one, is
running Windows Server.)
