Hi,
I have many UNIX servers in different DMZs and inside zone. They connect each other by using RPC service ports. Even when i checked server rpcinfo -p the ports getting mapped with rpc service to tcp and udp ports are different in different servers.
Please how this can be achived.

Per Cisco Documentation:
"To enable Sun RPC application inspection or to change the ports to which the security appliance listens,
use the inspect sunrpc command in policy map class configuration mode, which is accessible by using
the class command within policy map configuration mode. To remove the configuration, use the no form
of this command.
The inspect sunrpc command enables or disables application inspection for the Sun RPC protocol. Sun
RPC is used by NFS and NIS. Sun RPC services can run on any port on the system. When a client
attempts to access an Sun RPC service on a server, it must find out which port that service is running on.
It does this by querying the portmapper process on the well-known port of 111.
The client sends the Sun RPC program number of the service, and gets back the port number. From this
point on, the client program sends its Sun RPC queries to that new port. When a server sends out a reply,
the security appliance intercepts this packet and opens both embryonic TCP and UDP connections on
that port."
"You enable the RPC inspection engine as shown in the following example, which creates a class map to
match RPC traffic on the default port (111). The service policy is then applied to the outside interface.
hostname(config)# class-map sunrpc-port
hostname(config-cmap)# match port tcp eq 111
hostname(config-cmap)# exit
hostname(config)# policy-map sample_policy
hostname(config-pmap)# class sunrpc-port
hostname(config-pmap-c)# inspect sunrpc
hostname(config-pmap-c)# exit
hostname(config)# service-policy sample_policy interface outside
To enable RPC inspection for all interfaces, use the global parameter in place of interface outside."

Hi,
do anything need to be done other than the config what you have mentioned before for two way communication between the UNIX server in both the zone.
