Hi,

Given a situation where you need to expose a web server through a
firewall, is it worth using unusual port numbers to avoid casual
discovery, e.g., 8123 instead of 80?

Are there any issues with high port numbers like these for various
firewalls?

I have a NetScreen-10 here and any non-standard port numbers require a
custom service to be created - and the documentation is less than
stellar on this issue! (Any hints on configuring a custom service that
behaves just like HTTP only on a high port would be appreciated!)
