[cups.general] using cups running on ports different than 631...

Hello,
is it possible to configure cups to use server
running on different than standard port?

I'm trying to integrate the CUPS printing into
our NX Thinkclient solution.
I would like to encapsulate the CUPS traffic
from remote server to my local machine.
On remote server I open the port for example 2501
and I forward everything to my local cups server
to the port 631.

I was trying to use the .cupsrc file in my home
directory with one single line ServerName localhost:2501
and it doesn't work. When I start the printer configuration
tool from KDE it shows that it is trying to connect to:
localhost:2501:631 .

Even when I try using the lpstat -h localhost:2501 it
doesn't work.

Any ideas what can I do to overcome this limitation ?

kind regards,
