OK, I know this is a wide open, leading question, but to the best of anyone's
knowledge, do any (important) services use ports above 5000? Is Windows (or
any other OS) known to be vulnerable to probing in this range?

I assume this requires a seperate entry for each DNS server? Obviously, I
don't want to open up too wide of a range of addresses, or I wouldn't bother
in the first place.
