BGP Through PIX Question #2

I didn't have to configure it on the PIX when first establishing the BGP
peers, but I do the clear xlate on the PIX and all of a sudden I get a bunch
of deny logs on the outside ACL saying that I need to let tcp eq 179
*initiated* from the outside.

For example, "access-list OUTSIDE permit tcp host 1.1.1.1 eq bgp host
2.2.2.2"

What gives? I thought that was an ACL statement for stateless packet
filtering (i.e. a router), not for the PIX...

Why do I see this? Was I always supposed to be doing this? It only
happened after clearing xlate and seeing the authentication go haywire on
one of the BGP peers...

Thanks,

Ed
