Not true at all. I regularly use IRC through masquerading firewalls,
with no special set-up for it.

You only need to mess with the firewall if you want DCC to work in both
directions. It'll work one way (I can't remember which, I don't use it)
with no special effort though.

Piggybacking anything on the back of HTTP is evil, evil, evil. It means
people start putting filters on the HTTP proxy to re-assert control over
network traffic. Those filters never really do the job they're supposed
to, and manage to mess up other stuff at the same time. Not good.
