services on v5.1a trucluster

We have two ES45s in a v5.1a TruCluster using a gigabit inter-connect.

We want to run a daemon on each node that binds to a tcp port (e.g. 536).
Therefore, we added the relevant line to /etc/services (e.g. <service-name>
536/tcp).

We can start the daemon on the first node without problem. However, when we
start the daemon on the second node we get an error message stating that the
address is already in use.

Unfortunately, to enable the daemons to talk to each other they must be on
the same port.

This wouldn't be a problem with two stand-alone servers.

Does anyone know how the cluster treats services and how we can work-around
this problem?

Many thanks
Frank
