Problems fetching

Hi all,
I have been trying to get MacPorts to work within the network I help support. It is a fairly secure network, stringent firewalls and proxies, internal IP's NATted to external IP's, ftp traffic is passed through fine however.
I have been able to get the selfupdate feature working by opening port 873 to rsync.darwinports.org and this function works fine now.
My problem is that when I try to install an application all connections are unsuccessful. It will attempt to fetch from the correct site but the connection cannot be established, and hence no downloading occurs.
I have tested the machine on a "vanilla" isp connection and MacPorts works fine.
Is anyone able to tell me whether the connections made during the fetch command are on any particular port?
Once I have completed my research I would be more than willing to write a FAQ pertaining to setting up MacPorts within a secure network.
Thanks,
Dave
