I am wondering if it is possible to add support for non standard ftp
ports on the fly in kernel 2.4.21.  What happens sometimes is that I
have 3 or 4 existing ftp connections with other users, and I want to
connect to someone who has their ftp on a non standard port, and who
is also behind a firewall that doesn't handle passive requests
properly.  The only way for me to connect to them is to change my
firewall to rewrite active requests.  As I already have transfers
active, the masq modules are in use, and I therefore cannot unload
them in order to reload them.   Even cancelling all of my ftp clients,
and shutting down my ftp server doesn't seem to release the modules.
My only recourse is to reboot the firewall after changing the modprobe
lines for both ftp modules.

Ideally it would be nice if I didn't have to unload and load the
modules at all, and therefore not break all the existing ftp
connections.

Is this possible / plausible?
