port 53 for dirport for firewalled users?



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I know that many intranet firewalls have bandwidth limiters on port 53,
especially the more severe types of firewalls, but for accessing
directory mirrors this isn't a big deal, I mean sure, it slows down the
process initially but once a cache is built most of the time the speed
will be of little issue.

I think that probably then port port 80 or 443 could then be the ORPort,
with the configuration modification suggested in the tor wiki, one could
then provide a harsh firewall-accessible route to tor access while
running a webserver.
