In short, it's possible but your firewall administrator may blanch at 
the notion of opening up as many ports as it may require.

see <http://seer.suport.veritas.com/tnotes/netbackup/187321.htm> for 
the gorey details.

although the above page doesn't point out that the "allow inbound 
512-1024 connections" can be modified by use of the 
"ALLOW_NON_RESERVED_PORTS" bp.conf option...
