It's easy with foxyproxy. Run ssh with the -D command: ssh -D 2324 ec2-75-101-XXX-XX.compute-1.amazonaws.com Tell FoxyProxy to "use SOCKS proxy for DNS lookups" (tools > foxyproxy > more > global settings > use SOCKS proxy for DNS lookups) Configure foxyproxy with rules for when to use local port 2324. Use wildcards like http*ec2*internal*. I put a screenshot on my blog - http://blog.restphone.com/2008/6/4/foxyproxy-hadoop-and-socks All the features I cared about worked when set up this way. (And of course the choice of 2324 isn't special - use any port you like.) -- James Moore | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ruby and Ruby on Rails consulting blog.restphone.com
