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 9:41
