[squid-users] Tricky question (well, I think so anyway)

Hi,

Besides the fact that we're still having the slow internet access, as well as our bandwith costing a fortune, we have one other really tricky problem here: Our users want IRC! Now the thing is, obviously we don't want to cache IRC requests! But everything that goes through the internet must go through Squid, I found an IRC client which supports HTTP proxies, as well as Wingate, SOCKS, etc, but it's getting a message from Squid about access not being allowed. How can we make Squid (maybe with the help of some third party program or something) accept IRC connections? (Port 6667 is already open, as well as all ports above 1024)

Oh yeah, another question: Which ports should actually be blocked? I don't need to know which ports are safe, can somebody tell me which ports are dangerous?
