The thing is my ISP blocks port 80 and I don't understand the rationale of organizations blocking port like 8000 (if memory serves I think one of the rfc standard specified that any port above 8000 is recommended as an alternative to port 80, that was about 14 years ago when I first started to "play" with httpd...) is 8000 and the like considered as security hole now? Maybe as a generic security approach of permitting only a few ports like 80 for web, 25 for smtp and 110 for pop3 while blocking virtually all other ports. And that seems to make some sense.
