The internal FTP server has been working correctly with Fred's ip_masq_ftp
patches, which I've had installed since the beginning.  After adding the new
FTP server on the firewall (ProFTPd), the internal FTP server still works
perfectly, but the new one will not work with passive mode because the
firewall blocks the incoming requests once the port has changed to an
arbitrary port.

Is there any way to have both servers working with passive mode
simultaneously?  Would I not encounter the same problem even if I didn't
have an internal FTP server at all?  It's the firewall ruleset that is
interfering with the new FTP server's ability to use passive mode, right?

Derek
