Hi All,
I have a problem, on our network we MUST use NIS/NFS/RPC.

Now we have a 525 with 6 interfaces, each interface has seperate networks which need to talk to each other using NIS/NFS and that sort of stuff.

Does the PIX do RPC connection tracking ie a client on interface 2 sends a query to a server on interface 1, the server responds and the PIX opens a hole in the firewall to let the traffic that is about to start through.

its not really a problem for NFS because it port 2049 but NIS servers/clients bind to random port numbers. I guess it would be a fixup like ftp/h323 but i cant find it.

Cheers
Dave
