Situation in a nutshell: Production and test databases are on two separate systems inside the firewall. The web server is at an ISP, outside the firewall. The firewall sends all data coming from the ISP, port 5432 to a specific IP address inside the firewall: port 5432, which is the production serve. Test transactions need to go to the other server, which has to be the same IP address (the address of the firewall), so it needs to be a different port, but I'm not sure if the port translator in the firewall will do any better at getting a response that than a port translator on the test server does. However, I also need the test database responding to requests on port 5432.
Your firewall can probably redirect firewallhost:5431 to insidehost:5432. If not, you could use something like simpleproxy on insidehost to do what you want. <http://sourceforge.net/projects/simpleproxy/> -K
