Are you trying to say that you want to originate traffic on udp4901 from
a MASQed machine and you want the reply to come BACK on udp4901?

If this is the case.. I beleive you are going to be out of luck.
Once IPPORTFW reserves a given port, I beleive the port is then considered
used and the Linux kernel won't for anything else.
