                          If I have a web server trying to communicate to a SQL Server through a firewall, and the firewall is completely closed both ways (**inbound AND outbound**), I know I have to open port 1433 from the web server to the SQL Server in that direction.

However, do I need to open any ports from the SQL Server to the web server for the SQL activities to work? Does SQL Server respond back with any other ports?
