Hi Thor, 

if NAT-T is used you don't have control over the source port because there
is somewhere NAT done along the path ;-)

Hey Jim- you might want to get on your KB folks:

<snip>
Routing and Remote Access
The Routing and Remote Access service provides multiprotocol LAN-to-LAN,
LAN-to-WAN, VPN, and NAT routing services. Additionally, the Routing and
Remote Access service also provides dial-up and VPN remote access services. 
Although Routing and Remote Access can use all the following protocols, the
service typically uses only a subset of them. For example, if you configure
a VPN gateway that lies behind a filtering router, you will probably use
only one technology. If you use L2TP with IPSec, you must allow IPSec ESP
(IP protocol 50), NAT-T (TCP on port 4500), and IPSec ISAKMP (TCP on port
500) through the router.

</snip>

NAT-T and ISAKMP are UDP, not TCP.   And the article should also mention 
that source and destination ports are the same for NAT-T, ISAKMP and L2TP
(UDP 1701) so that people can have more secure rules in place.  Now that I
mention that, there is a NAT-T oriented article on ISAServer.Org that builds
the IP Packet Filters for these protocols with "All Ports" on the back end. 
They should really be source and destination of 500/1701/4500...
