We had some similar issues with a 6.3 Midtier, although on an lower patch level. A colleague of mine found out that the Midtier server "lost" the configured TCP port setting under high load. His solution was to set the ARTCPPORT variable - which seem to be used as fallback - in the start up script of our application server.
However, we communicated this issue & solution to Remedy and it should be solved in the meanwhile, but I unfortunately don't know in which patch set.

Sorry, forgot to provide the environment details:
ARS 6.3 (patch 16)
Oracle 9.1.6
Solaris 9
mid-tier 6.3 (patch 15)
And a small correction: RPC 111 is blocked on the firewall (and
not on the server as mentioned earlier)

Subject: RPC bind failure error
I am having a strange problem with ARS and Mid-tier.
There is a firewall between ARS and mid-tier and once in a while
the mid-tier throws an "RPC bind failure" error and looses
connectivity with the server. After 20-25 minutes, the
connection
resumes automatically on its own. During this time, end users
are
not able to access the server. This happens atleast twice in a
day!
ARS is configured for a specific port and the mid-tier server
has
this configured in the serverlist (TCP port specified).
We checked the firewall logs and found that once in a while the
mid-tier is trying to reach the server on RPC port 111, which is
blocked on the server. Only the TCP specific port is allowed.
But, no idea how the connection is resumed again.
Stange thing is, it works perfectly fine in this setup and once
in
a while looses connectivity in this way.
In case any one has faced a similar problem or any help in this
regard is appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Balaji
