Reuben's suggestions are right on the mark. An additional thing to
check is -- on the XS -- what the ejabberd server thinks of the
situation, so if you do

 ejabberdctl connected-users

it will list the serial numbers ofthe currentyl connected users. Similar with

 ejabberdctl registered-users `hostname -f`

Note that in general the expectation of the XS/XO software is that
they are on the same network. If the NY and Boston networks are setup
so it is all transparently bridged, bravo. Otherwise, there are lots
of things that could be going wrong there (for example, registration
depends on local resolution of the 'schoolserver' name).
