your rule requires an "established" connection so there has to be another end of 
the pipeline... the "server" is one end but where is the data going if there is 
no client involved?

it may be possible, as others have pointed out, to simulate it via constructed 
pcaps, though... not really something i'd want to attempt unless there is a tool 
that can easily generate such a pcap of sufficient size... i'm not aware of one 
but others may be...

my initial gut reaction says the /easiest/ method would be to use a scripted 
client and a remote server...
