Ah, I got around most of the port-80 abuse issue by informing clients of
the proxy for this type of thing, allowing them to configure their apps to
use it as a gateway gets around a few issues.

(Great side-effect: Some P2P apps using a proxy send their internal IPs to
the server, so remote leeches can't figure out where they are, and other
local peers get a direct connection across.)

The real solution to all your P2P woes though is to implement IPv6. A
growing number of apps will use it anyway and tunnel around. The native
addressing scheme also allows P2P to more efficiently identify peers and
cause much less use of upstream bandwidth.
