Why a 'nobody' process is using port 1024 ?

[Ricardo Calixto Quesada]

I'm running kernel 2.0.35, glibc2.0.7, in one server with apache as user nobody.
But I found several times that apache had used port 1024 to connect to others servers.
Is this a bug ? of the kernel ? of the tcp/ip stack ?

I assume that apache is using port 1024 because it is running as a proxy server.

My ip number is 200.9.243.4. and here is the log:
