I currently run a Cisco PIX (version 4.4.7) which will not pass Corba IIOP
not matter what I try, this seems to be a limitation of the PIX confirmed by
Cisco. My only option to force it to work would be to manually open all the
high level ports (40,000 upwards), which is not ideal !
After looking around for a solution (proxying/tunelling was dismissed on the
basis of cost) we got a trial copy of FW1 in our test environment which does
seem to  be IIOP "aware" because it works !. My question is does anyone else
have any experience of IIOP across FW1 and am I correct in assuming that
because my basic telnet tests on the ports used by IIOP failed, FW1 must be
dynamically opening and closing as required.

Any advice much appreciated.
