They could open just a range of 5 dinamic ports and monitor them 
intensively...

FYI: The "for security" argument is bogus because;

a)  allowing any random client to determine their own arbitrary port
number(s) is strictly worse for security than having your control point
(Squid) select the port, and

b) limiting that client-selected port to 20/21 makes the data between client 
and Squid go over a port which is more easily predicted and therefore 
interceptable by passive attack.
