Hi John,

I've seen this in my UV-Inbox for some time and was waiting for some
response. Since none has come, I'll offer the following:

1, the port is hard coded in the client. Changing a port# on a server is
pretty easy for any service. It's not recommended and with some it will
take a recompile, but it's pretty straightforward. Changing the port
requested by a client is completely different and can only be controlled
by the developer, either at runtime, which would allow change, or during
compilation, which makes it virtually impossible to change.

One other item is that the UVADMIN client allows multiple hosts, all using
the same UVRPC port without having to worry about conflicts. This is done
the same way a 'telnet' or 'ssh' or any other remote connection process is
controlled. You have to know the IP address.

So, if what you are after is being able to 'poke a hole' in a firewall to
enable managing the servers from remote locations, I would recommend not
worrying about the server or client port number used, but rather, creating
a VPN tunnel (PPTP) through which to communicate to the various U2
servers.

HTH,

Karl
