We took a stab at it on our own.
After setting the following rules:
# iptables -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i eth1 -p tcp -m tcp --sport 60000:64000 -m 
state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT 
# iptables -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i eth1 -p tcp -m tcp --sport 50000:54000 -m 
state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT 
# iptables -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i eth1 -p tcp -m tcp --sport 10070:10080 -m 
state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT 

we get:
12:16:33.846205 IP 10.0.0.1 > 10.0.0.101: icmp 68: host 160.33.37.39 
unreachable - admin prohibited

10.0.0.101 is the PSP.

We'll keep trying, but it'd be easier if someone who knew could point us in 
the right direction...

Thanks, 
Tim
