Not sure what you're getting at. I'm trying to use JMeter to do distributed load testing.
See http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/remote-test.html For the remote server (running jmeter-server) it's possible to set the listen port that jmeter-server will receive instructions from the client. The default is 1099 and this works fine. This port is open and can be connected to without an issue. The problem comes when the jmeter-server tries to communicate its results back to the jmeter client. According to the jmeter documentation, this communication is done over a randomly selected high numbered port. I know this is the case because I opened a high numbered range of ports on the firewall on the jmeter-server box (50000-65000) and the jmeter client started receiving data from the jmeter-server. Pretty sure that the type of request is irrelevant in this situation.
