You ARE joking aren't you? That's 60,000 ports! It would take me a year to type all that lot in! Isn't there a way to limit which ports it uses?
Hopefully you're aware that you can type 5000:65000 in the iptables rule and it will treat it as a range. If not, consider it good news... you just changed a year into 3.7 seconds.
