Article #25735: Are the ports which InterBase and InterClient use officially registered?

Problem:
Our company has plans to invest considerable resources in developing applications
which use InterBase/InterClient as a back end. We are concerned that if another company
registers the ports that InterBase is currently using, and our customers happen to be
running their software as well as ours, there will be a serious problem requiring us to
replace all of the InterBase/InterClient installations that are using ports 3050 and 3060
respectively.


Solution:
Yes, we have officially registered ports 3050 and 3060 with IANA* (Internet Assigned
Numbers Authority). To verify this go to the following URL:

* IANA's duties have now been contracted to ICANN (The Internet Corporation for 
Assigned Names and Numbers: http://www.icann.org/ )
