As I recall, the "firewall" setting is only used if a direct connection fails..
That is, no matter what you set "firewall" to, it'll try connecting directly first, and only if that fails, connect thru the proxy-server
Not completely certain on this however..
Edit: I just dug through the code, and the above is incorrect.
However, I am abit unsure on the handling of dest-port for the proxy.

Not quite. If eggdrop would use normal SOCKS 4/5 proxies it wouldn't be any problem. I also remember that some version allowed to connect through HTTP proxy but i'm not sure if it weren't in 1.7. Anyway, there is a patch somewhere on the net ;)
