Shorewall users - Nov 2002 - RPC Proxy

Tom,
 
I am wondering if shorewall has the ability to act as a rpc proxy so I wouldnt
have to just open up port 135 and 139?  I have included a link to a description
of what I would like to do.  The description is using MS ISA server and
Exchange.  I would like to use shorewall instead of the ISA server. Is this
possible and if so what would the correct netfilter/shorewall terminology be?
 
Thanks!

Shorewall is a humble packet filter; it can''t do ANY sort of proxying
by
itself.

Proxying connections through a Linux firewall requires a proxy process 
running in user space (Squid is an example).
