That is an excellent suggestion! It just didn't occur to me. I've tried googling how to forward a port and am not having much success (rinetd worked, but I feel like I should be able to get iptables to work - do you have any pointers I could follow?) Thanks again, this will most likely sove my vip binding issue.
