Millennium Circulation and firewalls

[Tony Bandy <TonyB@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello fellow Innopac users:

Wonder if you would have a few minutes to spare?

1.  Our consortium is running Mil. Circ. 2.16 with the server running Rel.
2000 B.

2.  One of our libraries is running a firewall utilizing Raptor on NT.

3.  As you know the client ports that go thru the firewall start at 1030 and
go up

depending upon who is logging into the system.

4.  Since we have 300+ licenses on our system, the firewall will evidently
have to open up
300+ ports as the actual port number varies dependant upon who's logged in.

5.--->Is there a way around this?  Has anyone encountered this problem?

The library does not want to have to open up that many ports.

6.  Any suggestions, comments, websites, etc. will be helpful.


Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
