Question SQL - is it possible

I have a table with the following structure:

trxNo expiryDate remoteTrxNo
445455 2011-06-26 0
445455 2011-02-26 0
445999 2011-07-30 0
445999 2011-03-28 0

There are other columns that make the records unique but they are not relevant to my question, however, they are always in pairs.

I would like to update the remoteTrxNo in all the records in the table with the following logic:

If the expiryDate is the largest of the two possible values, write 'FAR' in the remotetrxNo column, when it is the smallest, write 'NEAR'.

Can this be done in a massive insert? Do I need to split the query in two to do the MAX once, and the MIN on the other update?

I've tried without success to write a query (or two) to accomplish this. I want to avoid writing code that will loop through a resultset one by one.

Any help would be appreciated.
