The basic idea behind port-knocking is that you have installed an agent that
can control your (local or remote) firewall policies. If you've accomplished
the task of installing unwanted code on a machine that you don't (actually)
own, you've wasting time simply dorking about with firewall policies.

Port-knocking is a bogus concept.
If you can place your agent on the firewall, it's game over anyway.

Actually, the concept of port-knocking applies to this example rather
beautifully.. shame it's not available for ISA 2004. Though I do plan to have a
go at a script for that, just because I wanna. :P

Whenever I hear GRC.com I shudder and start loosing hair. The vision of
Gibson's plump moustache brings vile, unspeakable things back to rise around
the taste buds on the back of my tongue.
And indeed "opening a port" (haha one more kitten/isa just died)only when
requested... wouldn't that be the equivalent of leaving it open?
It's akin to plugging your ears shut and opening them only when the phone
rings. How will you know it is ringing and that someone attempts to communicate
with you?
Either I misunderstood or something here is clearly illogical.

You've been to GRC.com again, haven't you?
:-P
Both HTTP and FTP use the TCP protocol to get where they're going.
It's a basic precept of TCP communications that you can't respond to a
connection request if you don't accept them.

Ports 80 and 21 are open statically on my ISA 2000 SP-2 server. I publish
websites through ISA and a single FTP site. How do I make these ports open
dynamically - only when proper access is needed?
TIA,
