Hi everybody.

The question below may seem to you stupid, but I am not an expert on RPC
stff.

In on of our customers, I have two machines running softwares communicating
eachother via RPC. One of the machines is on Intranet (secure network) the
other is on DMZ.

The programs uses RPC, so portmap is in effect and it uses arbitrary ports
(from 1024+) to communicate to the other machine. But as all you can guess,
customer does not want to enable all 1024+ ports on the firewall. Is there
any way to fix the port used by portmap for that specific software ? Or is
there any way to guess the port that portmap assigned by the firewall on
the fly ? I mean what the port is used by portmap, the firewall will
discover it (via  some scripts may be) and create a rule autoatically.

By the way firewall is Checkpoint Firewall-1 (not sure about the version).

Thanks for your comments / suggestions.

Regards.
