Port range triggering limitation - WRT600N - Most current firmware applied

Question

Are there plans to enhance or correct the current limitation of the port range triggering?
Example
Triggering port range                            Forwarding port range
28955 - 28955                                         1024-65534
6131-6131                                                1494-1494
Although my triggering ports do not overlap; I am unable to save the above settings since the forwarded port range of 1494-1494 falls within the 1024-65534 range.
Basically, I can only use this feature with applications that do not overlap their forwarded ports.  But, since there are many apps that use random ports within the 1024-65534 range this is extremely limiting.
Any help would be appreciated.

You can forward each port exactly once. The first entry in the list will always be the one executed. There is no other way to do this because otherwise the router would have to duplicate packets which it does not. Port forwarding is just a part of the NAT process. The error message prevents you from setting up those two forwardings which would be meaningless because the second 1494 forwarding would never occur.
The best approach is either splitting the range into multiple ranges and exclude 1494 completely or using the DMZ host feature. The DMZ host receives all ports which are not forwarded otherwise. This of course includes the privileged ports which you don't forward at this time but it may be a simple option replacing the first forwarding rule.
