I a using ftp-proxy over a year new, eehh that is, first in OpenBSD and
from august last year in NetBSD-current. It works well for me and can also
be used with ipf, allthough you'd have to open up a portrange to allow
connections to ftp-proxy in case of active ftp, but since i didnt see
any advisory on ftp-proxy i'not afraid for that.
