Configure Esxi/vcenter for cloning VM from Remote Esxi to Local Esxi

Hi (sorry for my english)

I have a Esxi 6 host on a remote public server (IP xx.xx.xx.xx).

On my local network, I have another Esxi 6 host (IP 192.168.2.140) and a Vcenter Server (IP 192.168.2.139).

I'm connected to Internet with a fixed IP (yy.yy.yy.yy).

With Vcenter, I can clone (locally) a VM on my remote Esxi hos.

But I can't clone this remote VM to my local Esxi host ([NfcClient] Unable to connect to NFC server: Failed to connect to server 192.168.2.140:902)

That's normal: my local IP can't be reached from internet, so remote ESXi host fails to connect to 192.168.2.140:902

So, (I think)  I have to use my modem NAT functionality to forward yy.yy.yy.yy:902 to 192.168.2.140:902

My question:

How can I configure my local ESXi (or Vcenter?) so when cloning occurs, the remote host connects to my public IP (yy:yy:yy:yy) and not to the local IP of my host (192.168.2.140).

OR

Can I configure my remote host to translate ip like 192.168.2.0/24 to yy;yy;yy;yy?

Regards
