Comment (by cypherpunks):

 My idea was initially specifying one outgoing port. It doesn't have to be
 a range. Why would this be a denial of service risk? I suspect no more
 than the listening port. It would make it possible to have Tor behind a
 stateless firewall that knows nothing about connection tracking.

 As I mentioned, several torrent clients have this capability. And they are
 similar in that they have many concurrent connections.
