After doing some more looking at the code, it appears that this option
is not supported.  I created a small patch (attached) which adds the
functionality.  Is there any way we could get this, or something like
this, applied upstream?  I think this is important functionality for
firewalled environments, and seems like a simple fix since all the
other services (including ones for ceph-mon and ceph-mds) already
allow you to specify a static port.
