You should call them - I've installed about 100 Firebox units in the last
two years, none of the X5, so I can't say for sure, but I've always been
able to create custom IP:Port to IP:Port rules through the LAN/DMZ on
their SOHO units, same with their larger units.

Call and ask them specifically about this.

Also, where did you get the idea that it won't work?
