Browsers that are configured to use a proxy server don't do DNS lookups,
they pass the request the URL to the proxy server, and the proxy server
does the DNS lookup. So if there's no way to get past the firewall/proxy
server, there's no need to provide DNS services to internal hosts - that's
not to say that there isn't a local DNS server, just that there's no need
to tell all the workstations what it's address is.
To answer the original question, there is no way to tell Analog to "proxy"
DNS requests, because DNS requests are always proxied, but not by a HTTP
proxy server(you ask your local DNS server to resolve a name, and it
passes it up the chain until it gets an answer). If the machine that
Analog is on doesn't know the address of a local DNS server, then Analog
can't do DNS requests.
Find out what address the proxy server is using for DNS, and see if you
can reach it.
