True. You just cant do it. Initial connections are made to 135, then
dynamically changed to 1024-5000 (default). Do some research on NT RPC is
to get an understanding to its necessity.
On an NT bastion host/router, disabling the server service would stop port
135 from listening on a specific interface (most likely you'd choose the
untrusted one).

The RPC service is what "owns" 135. Disabling it will probably screw up
things on the machine (anything that touches RPC or OLE depends on it, and
that includes pretty much all apps).
