Good morning (or evening, depenging) everyone.

I am hoping someone can shed some light on something for me...

Trying to a read-only NFS export of a directory through the DMZ firewall to a 
local linux instance. From what I have read, NFSV4 uses port 2049 to
make it's connections. Presumable this is for both client and server as I've 
seen nothing about such a distinction.

Both systemsare SLES-10 SP1. When the external firewall rules are set 
specifically allow port 2049 between the two machines it fails with a "mount
server reported tcp not available, falling back to udp" error and then 
eventually just gives up.

When the firewall is set to allow all connections between these two hosts it 
works. So obviously port 2049 isn't really it, or it isn't all of the
answer.

So, what am I missing?
