I run Squeezeboxes, Airplay, Chromecast, UPnP Bridge, SSH, minidlna, LMS UPnP/DLNA, minimserver, sometimes a foobar2000 server, a very small web server, plus a few other bits and bobs all on the one music server, so quite a few ports have to get opened. In almost every case I only allow specific fixed IP address devices in (and not the router - I also don't let my router get involved with UPnP).
I gave up trying to work out precisely what I needed in the 30000-60000 range. Every time I thought I had cracked it something got blocked. How did you work out the 5000/6000 ports? There is no Apple documentation that I know of regarding those, and I don't ever recall seeing them when I had most things shut down to see what the firewall was blocking - are they receiver specific? I've never dared to attempt to work out what I'd need to allow going out, since I guess that would include software updates and other things I'm only dimly aware of.
