I've got a RHEL3 client behind a Cisco router with NAT with these
ports punched through: 111, 7937 & 7938.  NetWorker is working,
but commands on the client are balking for ~ 10 seconds... because
they can't contact portmap on the client.

After digging around a little, I realized that the Cisco won't
allow systems on the private side to contact the punched through
ports via the public address.  To wit: rpcinfo -c private_address
works but rpcinfo -c public_address fails "connection refused."

Does anyone know of a work-around?  Better yet, does anyone know
the correct Cisco IOS magic??  What I have is...

 ip nat inside source static tcp 10.10.10.10 111 interface Ethernet1 111
 ip nat inside source static tcp 10.10.10.10 7937 interface Ethernet1 7937
 ip nat inside source static tcp 10.10.10.10 7938 interface Ethernet1 7938
