Well.. yes and no.  X starts at port 6000 and works its
way up if 6000 is busy.  I haven't seen X get through
when 6000 is blocked.  Have you?

This is one major ommision that is missing from my
ruleset.  Once I get off my butt and get the IPCHAINS port
finished, I'll back port the -k stuff to the IPFWADM 
ruleset.
