I love the feature in custom and priority queuing that permits you to
specify a port number or name and it will catch both directions), but what
about where you have to use an extended access-list to specify your traffic.
Any general rule of thumb about when to specify the port in both directions.
Example.
access-list 165 permit any any eq 2065
access-list 165 permit any eq 2065 any

You can't always be sure who will be initiating the tcp session (unless
someone tells you its a webserver, so all www sessions will be initiated by
surfers. Even then, I can't believe it would always be that simple.
