So you're hypothesizing that this customer will:

1) Be behind a firewall that blocks ssh.

Sometimes ... been there ... too often.

2) Be behind a firewall that DOESN'T block SMB.

Usually the case.

3) Not be in a position to have that policy changed.

Almost always the case with a client.

4) Not be violating his corporation's policies when he 
connects through you.

Covered by NDA ... no problem. Besides, corporate policy enforcement is not
part of the transit provider contract.
