weird stuff -- get a dumb hub ;)

I suggest you open 1024-65535 ;)

I guess the nextbest available unprivileged port a call to the os'es socket
routines has available for it ... anyway your firewall should block/accept
packages based on _destination_ port anyway.
(and maybe source _adresses_ it's a bit hard to spoof 10.1.1.111 from out-
side)

I still don't know if I understood correctly what's going on in your setup-
Anyway I hope this helps a little ...
