Hi, 

Our firewall group has came to me several times over the last few months
wanting my approval to open all of the �OUTBOUND� ports on our firewall facing
the internet.  Their argument is that this would not significantly reduce our
security and it will reduce their time/effort in administration.  They claim
they get several requests a week to open up out bound ports and the number
keeps growing each month. They want to go for the gusto�and open up all 65,000+
outbound ports.

I am in the security area and they want my agreement/sign off before they do
this.  It just does not �feel/smell right� but I am losing ground with my
arguments.  What are some good arguments I can use?  

Tony
