That's good for Centos 3.x.  You can add the setup in the
redhat-config-network tool by clicking the device/new button,
and port forward the UDP port number you choose through your
router.  Unfortunately, it is gone in Centos 4.x and you
have to recompile the kernel to make it work if you try
to add it back yourself.
