Hi Robert,

It does not matter from the FB pov. You should choose what is 'best' for
you. For eg. change the port for the FB version that will take less work to
configure clients.

No. just make sure you configure the cache settings for each acordingly

On client side you must especify the port on connection string, eg.

server/port:database

Or... (but I'm not sure) you can configure your clients services file with
an entry like

gds_db/tcp your_port

As I said, I'm not sure, hopefully Helen can enlight us

Why?? You you tell your app the server name or ip address is should be easy
just to add a /port after it.
