My school has a very broken firewall that does not allow active FTP (i.e. you _MUST_ use passive mode or it won't work at all). If my school decided to use DeLeGate as proxy (not that I know, but just so you get the idea ;-) the passive mode for DeLeGate must be off. Since the proxy is likely to be located way before the firewall you end up with a mixed setting of active FTP before the firewall and passive after. That is not possible to configure easily (if at all), but at least a separation between proxy and general outgoing traffic would be a good idea IMO.
