In order to protect from 'slammer' kind of virus, we are
planning to block UDP Port 1434 on all gateways. Named
instances seem to rely on UDP Port 1434. Since TCP port
the sql instance is listening on can be re-assigned, Can
we reassign the UDP port 1434 as well? Any input will be
appreciated. Thank you!
