I thought the origin of outbound connections were random, but the
destination was always the port of the service you're attempting to acquire?

Example: Opera to www.google.com
192.168.0.2:(insert next random port number) --> www.google.com:80

In this situation, any port would be valid going out of a firewall, if it's
going to an acceptable destination port.
