solve his problem. I think Matt Valerio’s initial description of
the problem was misleading, though. It seems to me that he is not trying
to connect through a simple firewall, he is trying to connect through a NAT.
It seems he wants to use port forwarding set up on the NAT in way that will
enable him, from a computer outside the NAT, to create a machine config file that
connects to the same host IP (e.g. the WAN IP of the NAT) with different ports,
which will logically connect to multiple machines inside of the NAT. However,
as you say, that is not possible with the current SMPD machine config file. I
do think that is bad design on the part of the config file though. Would
it be very difficult to extend the config file to support specification of port
as well as host/IP?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

needs to run using the "-port" option while starting smpd (You can
also ask smpd to run on any port assigned by OS using the "-anyport"

<br>
Does smpd need to run on the same port on all computers?<br>
Can I tell mpiexec that it needs to connect to all of the smpd computers on

<br>
I know that the machine config file can specify different computers, but the

different computers as well as different ports. <br>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><font size=3
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Hello MPICH2 users,<br>
<br>
I am wondering if there is a way to instruct mpiexec to use multiple computers
running smpd on different ports. <br>
<br>
For example, I have 10 computers behind a firewall. Each of those 10
computers is running smpd on the same port (let's say 8000). <br>
I want to put rules into a firewall computer that maps an externally-available
port to the specific computer<br>
<br>
firewall:8001 ----(maps to)----------> computer1:8000<br>
firewall:8002 ----(maps to)----------> computer2:8000 <br>
...<br>
firewall:8010 ----(maps to)----------> computer10:8000<br>
<br>
Then in the machine configuration file, I need to be able to tell mpiexec that
it can use the same computer but different ports (8000-8010), like<br>
<br>
firewall:8001 <br>
firewall:8002<br>
...<br>
firewall:8010<br>
<br>
etc.<br>
<br>
Is this currently possible? I know the machine file format is wrong
because the number after the colon specifies the number of processes, not the
port number. <br>
<br>
Does anyone have any ideas as to whether this kind of thing could work?
Is there a better way? Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
