No, sorry, I always configure the firewall with vim /etc/sysconfig/iptables

In theory, sure -- but I haven't seen any working examples/configs when 
I last researched it. I had considered extending/copying the iptables' 
FTP plugin to work for upnp, but gave up since my workaround works for me.
Like I said, since you can dedicate a special port on the server for the 
upnp server, it's reasonably secure - only that port is open. It's the 
client that's the problem :(
