As for the NAT box that chooses those ports.  If you can’t keep the

If I understand the documentation that was linked previously

I think the option that does the right thing is "flat" without
"include-reserve".


Yes, that was my understanding as well. Unfortunately the flat option is not available in most NAT modes and seems to present itself only when also using a PAT pool in a manual (twice) NAT configuration. Interestingly enough, older versions of the ASA (7.x) did not require this extra configuration as they did not attempt to use source ports below 1024 for PAT. I'm sure there's a reason Cisco added the newer logic in ASA 8.x which sometimes does use ports < 1024, I'm just not sure what that reason could have been.
