Soap - Was RPCs over HTTPS through the firewall

What I'm curious about is whether the members of this list have any concerns with soap as a method of doing RPC and whether there are any firewall concerns. Our firewall is a mandrake box using iptables and we have very tight rules (I hope), to and from our servers, as far as restricting connections by IP and MAC as well as turning on the kernel IP spoofing measures. At my work place (small cable ISP) we have been doing some work to automate some common tasks, such as email account (add/edit/delete) and personal web space creation, in such a way that either our customers or level 1 tech support can use a web interface to do the work. Our programmer has been working on soap services to accomplish this (all linux servers btw, we aren't using MS soap). Basically, in the case of staff on the LAN (customers are a different case that I won't get into) the intranet web interface has soap connect to our mail server (through our LAN fw) and manipulates an object on the server that makes the necessary changes. Any of your thoughts on soap would be much appreciated.
