Hi,

I am currently faced with allowing a *bunch* of remote workstations (at
a JV) access to license servers on our internal net. The
protocol/service for checking in and out the licenses is FlexLM. The
workstation that needs to check out a license initially connects to the
server on a known port (i.e. 7711), however the server sends the client
a completely random port >1023 to initiate a new connection back on to
continue the license check-out procedure. 

Although we have quarantined and secured the internal license servers as
much as possible, I am not sleeping well allowing  'tcp-high-ports' from
all of these untrusted workstations (which works). I *think* there may
be a way with the Firewall-I INSPECT language to say "allow TCP high
ports" AFTER the workstation has already connected on one of the known
ports...maybe with dynamic tables???  I have been reading up on INSPECT,
I have no clue where to start.

Anyone out there with INSPECT experience who can let me know if a) this
is possible and better yet b) how to do this would be very appreciated.

Many Thanks!
