It is worth noting that gump will run a number of tests, so from time to time you will find projects have tests that use well known ports (like 8080).

ouch. we plan to be running servlets on moof, that's for sure and 8080 is very likely to be already used on that machine (even if we can install the servlet engine in some other port, since it's going to be proxypassed anyway)

This shouldn't be too bad -- the built-in ipfw is quite capable of blocking 8080; just make sure there's already a listener on any open ports before starting gump, and attempts to listen on such ports (by gump processes) should generate an error rather than a security hole. Not that I've tested this theory...


"sudo ipfw list".
