Any "blind" filtering will have side-effects. Setting the bar correctly can be difficult. It is important to regularly review filtering policies, remove the ones that are not of value and place new ones in. If it's just something where people pile on block-more, MORE, MOOOOOOORRRRRRREEEEEEEEE! you will end up with a really poor user experience. Make sure the reviews are part of a scheduled business practice, put the guy who runs around with the tapes in charge of nagging you.

supporting randomized source UDP ports (based on the Kaminsky thing)
may throw a wrench into some notions of filtering UDP traffic across
their network.  I know we had issues with it.

If you are REALLY paranoid, you can DROP all UDP traffic and then only open the ports that you have services running on. Sometimes this is easier said
than done though.


I wouldn't call this paranoia. I would call this "good security posture".
