I'm hesitant to open up blocks of 100 ports for these games - I figure the
P2P applications would find them and take off.

I'm also confused by the line at
http://support.packeteer.com/documentation/packetguide/6.0.0/reference/services.htm
which reads: MSN-Zone   Microsoft Network Gaming Zone, including Age of
Empires

this would seem to imply classification capability for the game itself.
