Yeah, we're considering that, but then a block somewhere else along the 
lines might break things.

One of the advantages of using random ports is that this won't happen, but 
I seemed to still experience that problem.

Oh yeah, a restart of named would fix the problem for some time.   My 
hypothesis is that things work great until it hits port 39999, but I'm 
thinking along your lines David - there's nothing in the code to tell it to 
use a different port.   Do the transfers work until they hit that blocked 
port, and then they just continute hammering away at it without trying a 
different port?  Management wants a definitive answer, and I've yet to be 
able to find it.  chris
