That would enable you to access an outside NBD server from inside the guest, allowing you to mount up a block device from outside. You can use multiple -R options to reverse-forward multiple ports. > NFS+RPC is one of my holdups; 10809, Linux Network Block Devices, is > in /etc/ services on some, not all, of my Linux hosts, so, please > educate me: does that process fix the "RPC problem"? If you want NFS and can use NFSv4, then you should only need to forward port 2049. NFSv3 needed a whole lot of ports forwarded.
