Actually, I would reccomend the opposite (if it is a remote server), so 65535 allows all, and 65534 denies all. The reason for this, is if your rc.firewall file is accidentally stuffed up or your rc.conf file or something similar, if the rc.firewall is not setup properly, you are locked out of your system. But when all is fine, it defaults to deny all.
