Thanks for the quick response.  Since the firewall policy is "deny
all, permit by exception", I need to look for the port lists that
GnuGK would need opened on firewall 2.

I'm assuming that these settings in [RoutedMode] are the ones to look at?
# Q931PortRange=20000-20999
Default: N/A (let the OS allocate ports)

Specify the range of TCP port number for Q.931 signaling channels.
Note the range size may limit the number of concurrent calls. Make
sure this range is wide enough to take into account TIME_WAIT TCP
socket timeout before a socket can be reused after closed. TIME_WAIT
may vary from 15 seconds to a few minutes, depending on an OS. So if
for example your range is 2000-2001 and you made two calls, the next
two calls can be made after TIME_WAIT timeout elapses and the sockets
can be reused. The same applies to H245PortRange and T120PortRange.
TIME_WAIT can be usually tuned down on most OSes.

# H245PortRange=30000-30999
Default: N/A (let the OS allocate ports)

Specify the range of TCP port number for H.245 control channels. Note
the range size may limit the number of concurrent calls. See remarks
about TIME_WAIT socket state timeout in the Q931PortRange description.

and then this in [Proxy]

RTPPortRange=50000-59999
Default: 1024-65535

Specify the range of UDP port number for RTP/RTCP channels. Since RTP
streams require two sockets, the range has to contain an even number
of ports. Note that the range size may limit the number of possible
concurrent calls.

Yeesh!  This is hard enough without adding another layer!

So because of this dual-firewall situation, the H460 is only helping
on the firewall 1 portion, and not the firewall 2?
