Being not a PIX expert, as i see no one answers, no, you do not need
a reverse rule if the protocol is known and does not require strange callbacks.

If it does, it is hard to say how your configuration does look like ;-)

   I'm a bit confused with the in and outs of the ASA firewalls.


   I'm setting up at HA pair, my Eth0/0 is my interior interface, trust
   level 100, Eth 0/1 and 0/2 are my IP and State heatbeats, and Eth 1/0
   is my external interface, trust level 1.


   Am I correct in my understanding that if I want two-way traffic,
   traffic is not blocked to a lower trust level, so I need only write a
   rule to pass the traffic between the endpoints from the external
   interface to the internal interface, and the reply traffic is taken
   care of ??  Or do I have to write a reverse rule, from the internal
   interface to the external as well ???
