Hi Paul Bijnes

Was the UDP also to be recompiled --with-udpportrange=11000,11030 thus
the same port range as tcp.

no, the only UDP connection is the one to 10080.  But do allow
the reply packet:  in iptables, this is automatically, in ipchains
this is not automatically (-- I believe -- it has been years since
I used ipchains...).

The server binds to a local port in the UDP-portrange, sends a packet
to the client at port 10080, and must be able get the reply from
client to server: you have to open the UDP-portrange on the firewall
to allow the reply packet.
The UDP-portrange must be < 1024, otherwise, the client will complain
about "port NNNN not secure", and it will not work.

The tcpportrange is used to send the data/mesg/index stream from client
to server.  You need 3 tcp connections for each host that is doing
a backup in parallel.
