Hi Daniel,
as we are at the socks subject:
How about supporting socks4a?
It's socks4 without hostname resolving, see
http://socks.permeo.com/protocol/socks4a.protocol.

Why: Internet privacy becomes more and more important,
and tools for anonymous internet access rely on the ability
to do DNS requests remote, so DNS request tracking can
be inhibited.
Socks4a gives the possibility to do so.

It' very similar to socks4, just set destination IP to
0.0.0.1 and append the destination domain name to the socks header.
Implementation would need only a handful of code lines,
so I guess there would be no big maintenance issue.

What do you think?
I could do a first try to implement it, but as I'm not very
fluent in programming c, you would probably have to
polish/check/correct it.

Regards,
Manfred
