Hi Keith,

Since you are on the matter, I would also recommend using your firewall to 
stop unwanted requests to that port. For example, try instead of any, 
allowing your webserver (in case of webdriven websites) and only servers that 
need to have access to your database. You don't need anyone trying to play 
around with your database. :)

Cheers
Ricardo
