Open Stack

We're on attempt 3 or 4 to turn on swift in devstack by default, but one 
of the issues we keep running into is the fact that the range of ports 
that swift defaults to: 601x, is also the range of ports the X server 
likes to use. This could be for a local X server, or X forwarding if you 
enabled that in your ssh sessions.

In a highly optimized swift environment, it's probably not an issue. But 
in an environment where the physical resources are being used for other 
things, the fact that we colide with something like X seems problematic.

Has there been any investigation by anyone going to IANA to get some 
ports registered for OpenStack projects? Picking ones at random has 
managed not to completely burn us up to this point, but it seems like it 
would be safer to get some known ones reserved.
