Reverse proxying for offsite (subscription) databases

Hi folks

We're currently using EZProxy for user authentication and connection to offsite databases for our 
remote users. It's worked well for us so far, except that it seems to use a set of . . . exotic 
ports to serve the proxied sites. This is a problem for some of our users, especially behind large 
corporate or government firewalls.

Is anyone using Apache to perform a similar function (but using port 80 exclusively)? I'm sure I 
could set up Squid to do the same thing, but our current hardware may not be able to cope well with 
that much more strain.

c.
