One of our network techs (a full CCNA, CCNP, CCDA, CCDP, CCSI
and CCIE qualified guy) once had a blazing row with me about why
he felt blocking traffic on a firewall from all but a given source
port was a good idea. He apparently had never heard of the concept
of random source port allocation, and was insistent that a 1:1
mapping between source and destination port was perfectly normal.
The mind boggles. How he ever expected to make more than one
concurrent connection between any two boxes is beyond me. He no
longer works for the company... :-)
