Title:
system-wide remote dns for network proxy is needed
Status in unity-control-center package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
The kind of remote dns that firefox has (or other browsers have).
Firefox remote dns setting:

For proficient users, they could choose proper iptables rules to
redirect all udp-port-53 traffic to some sophisticated socksifier
software, then use the socksifier to carry on the traffic to system
network proxy.
But for less experienced users, theses steps seem insurmountable.
That's why I (or perhaps some others) think we need this feature on
Ubuntu. And it would be better if it's possible to exclude some local
ip addresses as firefox does.
With all that said, I can fully understand if final decision is made
that this feature should not be put on the priority list.
