Hi

I have a protocol xxx that starts on a "well known" port
then creates a dynamic port also for xxx use, through
negotiation with its peer.

Can I use the dissector_add/rem functions at other
times besides inside  proto_reg_handoff() to allow
my dissector to register/handle this new dynamic port
in the "tcp.port" dissector table or are there 
restrictions ??

Thanks / Frank..
