Help - Firewalls and Oracle 7.3.2

Good Afternoon,

     We are trying to put some reports on the web using ASP pages that query our Oracle 7.3.2 server (on NT4.0 Svcpak 4, DEC Alpha). The web server passes the queries thru a firewall which is configured for port access. Unfortunately, when it replies, the Oracle server process is grabbing random TCPIP ports from the NT OS. Does anyone know of a way to force Oracle to use a specific port when replying to a query? The folks at Oracle say no. But if that is the case, how do you implement any kind of security if you want to make data available on the web? Finally, does Oracle 8, or 8i, fix this problem. Thanks in advance!!!
