No, I have no port specific rules in the firewall (iptables), but this machine does SNAT for 32 other linux boxes which also get some directories from the same server (including YP). I had some trouble with the YPSERV-calls until I bound two more IPs to the network card and masqueraded the 32 boxes via these additional addresses. What might happen is that the specific port gets allocated by some port remapping in iptables during the request, but I don't see why this should happen only for specific directories (e.g. /home works and /compass doesn't while both are from the same server).
Ciao, Roland
