As far as I can tell, this approach would work just fine against my
gnatbox under my current config.  I don't have any outbound filters that
block UDP traffic.  Does anyone think this policy is worth
reconsidering?

Good article.  Thanks for the link.

Like the mule, I got rapped up the side of the head with a 2x4 and the
issue has my attention.

This article has a good description of the basic approach.

One underlying assumption is that firewalls implement a fairly static
mapping of outbound UDP ports to individual machines.

My question then ... how much at risk are gnatbox protected networks to
this technique for getting around a firewall?
