Multiple mounts to a rpc.mountd with port specified.

Multiple mounts to a rpc.mountd with port specified.

[Erik Enge]

Hi.

I'm currently setting up NFS through a firewall and my current strategy
(which seems to work fine) is to specify a port for the rpc.mountd so I
can predict what to open on the firewall.

Will this impede performance or functioning at all with multiple mounts
(over the same port)?

I have opened ports 111, 2049 and 32700 (port for mountd) on the
firewall and from the logs I can see that I'm not dropping any packets.
I am also running lockd, so does this mean that lockd uses 111, 2049 or
32700 or is it not running?  Is there a specific port for lockd or do I
specify the port on rpc.statd and then lockd will use that?

Thanks for any answers,
