Hi all,
Any reccomendations what to install (or avoid) on my firewall,
from 4.4 /usr/ports/ftp/ to be a proxy ftpd server ?

My Background:
- I'm not looking for high performance, 
     (it's not a big company, just my home site with some internal hosts).
- I will have the usual security concerns with the imminent arrival
        of a flat rate permanent DSL connection :-)
- /usr/libexec/ftpd does not (at least did not) support proxy requests.
- I have apache installed on my firewall & am using FTP_PROXY=http://gate
  but often remote ports distfile ftpd hosts refuse to serve me,
  perhaps because my apache is asking remote server on port 80, not ftp port.

I looked at /usr/share/doc/handbook & faq but noticed nothing.
I investigated ports/ftp/*  with grep -i prox etc  ...

  POSSIBLES:
bftpd:          Very configurable FTP server that can do chroot easily
                        CHANGELOG: You can have bftpd bind to only
                        one interface, for example, if you want to
                        run an FTP proxy server on the same port
                        on another network interface.
lukemftpd:      Enhanced ftp server from NetBSD
                        src/ftpd.cat8: prevents `third-party proxy ftp'
muddleftpd:     A new ftp server that can perform a variety of ftp tasks        
                        src/proxy.c
oftpd:          A threaded, anonymous only FTP server designed for security
                        grep shows no prox
proftpd:        Highly configurable ftp daemon
                        grep shows no prox
pure-ftpd:      A small, easy to set up, fast and very secure FTP server               
                 my distfile corrup, so not grepped.
vsftpd:         A FTP daemon that aims to be "very secure"
                        grep shows no prox
wu-ftpd:        A replacement ftp server for Un*x systems
                        The zero-length .notar file can confuse
                        some web clients and FTP proxies

  TO AVOID:
        ncftpd:         commercial 
        yale-tftpd:     tftp

I'd appreciate comment please. IE which should I use ?  Thanks.
