Remote Debugging with Visual Studio 2008

I accidentally found that the port(4015 as the default) of MSVC(Visual Studio 2008) remote debugging monitor(msvsmon.exe) is only for the authentication, the debug data is transfered through other ports which are created by the authetication process.

This mechanism makes it impossible to do the remote debugging over firewall(s). Please see my experiment in details.
