i'm sure someone has looked at this already. my internal server within
my internal lan has been wrapped up with iptables. in and out is clearly
defined on the box.

amdump (amanda 2.4.2) appears to use specified ports (such as 10080,
10081, 10082, and 10083). BUT then the actual transfer of data seems
to go over another port. these ports don't appear to be fixed and
range quite a bit (different every time).

any ideas as to how to handle this in iptables?
