Just a quick question ... how does the OS determine the 'source port' when connecting to a remote site? is it reasonably safe to assume that the lower of the two ports is the dest port? for instance, if I try to telnet to a remote site where the remote site is running a service on port 6667, is it a pretty safe bet that FreeBSD will pick a port >6667 to go out on? or is there an equal chance of it being lower?
