Using a custom port with iPhone VPN config?

I have configured my iPhone for IPSEC. however, our VPN device @ work requires a custom port (IPSec over TCP, port 10000), which I cannot figure out how to add to the config.

Has anyone run across this and figured out if it is possible to add this option to the configuration on the iPhone?

Same issue here. Apple you need to add a custom port setting!!

I think that only UDP is supported. I dont belive that custom TCP connections are supported.

If you try and force a port at the end of a IP or hostname (example: vpn.domain.com:10000) you will get an error.
