Having listened with interest to the discussions on the WWW-security
and Firewalls lists, I'm wondering what specific risks I would assume
should I decide to allow desktop PC's and MACs unlimited access to the
Internet on ports 53 (DNS) and 80 (http), while maintaining the usual
inbound filtering (DNS _only_ to our DNS server, SMTP _only_ to our
mail relay, and nothing else inbound whatsoever).

Thanks,

Pete
