Basically, there should be no problem with this, as long as you don't have
a Firebird server itself running on the client. There's no problem with one
machine serving on - and connecting to - a port at the same time.
It's like a web-server that's serving on port 80: You can still access other
websites from this box without problems.

This way, you minimize firewall configuration to port 3050 and make
sure that if you can connect to a Firebird server, you can receive events, too.
More or less, at least. :)
...since you can distinguish between incoming and outgoing traffic in
your firewall.
