Does anyone know if Firefox's setting network.proxy.socks_remote_dns would apply to a SOCKS proxy set by a .pac file or only when manually entered in network options? I ask because I use a dynamic ssh tunnel at work and was trying to automate switching with a .pac file but am now worried that the DNS requests will be being made on the work servers.

FWIW, this doesn't *seem* to work with 3.6 on Linux. I'm not certain i haven't screwed it up somehow, though. – Tom Anderson Sep 12 '11 at 09:41
