If you want to be more specific, you could take a look at
http://www.rsbac.org and/or http://www.adamantix.org -
using the (kernel based) RSBAC access control framework it is 
possible to deny/allow network/port access on application level 
(additionally to you iptables rules).
It's not very easy to setup, but you'll get addicted to it soon, I 
promise ;-)

Similar approach is done by SELinux AFAIK but I prefer RSBAC B-)

Klaus
