EZproxy installation and firewall configuration

["Barros, Jacob" <jkbarros () GRACE EDU>]

Our library has asked us to implement EZproxy for off-campus access to
reserved databases.  I noticed from the Useful Utilities website that it
seems like everyone is using it and I know you all have firewalls so...

I'm reading through the setup instructions and am a bit uncomfortable
with the way they ask to set this up, i.e. open port 2048 and higher on
the firewall. Can anyone offer a sample of their configs,  point me to a
best practices document or just give me some reassurance?
