There's information on customising policy at:
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-apache-fc3/sn-debugging-and-customizing.html

The document's written for httpd on FC3 but the same principles apply.
It assumes you're using the "strict" policy, but you're probably using
"targeted" - just change "strict" to "targeted" wherever it appears.
Also, if you're running auditd then the AVC messages will be
in /var/log/audit/audit.log rather than /var/log/messages.

You might also want to bring this up on fedora-selinux-list; you might
be able to persuade Dan to add a boolean to allow this type of
connection and hence not need to customise policy at all in future.
