        This was answered recently. You have to weigh the risks
        that users of your proxy will use it to abuse the service
        which is supposed to be on those ports against the loss of
        access to these non-standard ports.

        You should probably point out to the site that they are
        requiring people to compromise the security on their
        firewalls and proxies.

        The default squid configuration permits these port:

         80 21 443 563 70 210 1025-65535

        I.e. http, ftp, https, secnews, gopher, wais and unprivileged
        ports.
