I wouldn't do that. 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.
