A feature that could allow local dns would be nice:
for example:
1. set url "http://site.com/page"; and dns "8.8.8.8"
2. curl would first resolve the site.com to 123.123.123.123
3. forward the url to the proxy as "http://123.123.123.123/page"; and
with the request-url set to "http://site.com/page"; (dose http proxy
support this? could the CONNECT command be used if available?) as with
shared hosting an IP is not enough to get the requested domain page.
You can do the name resolving locally and then pass in a URL with an IP number
and a correct Host: to the proxy. That's perfectly possible, although you'd
miss out on proper handling of multiple addresses for a name and happy
eyeballs etc.
So in my case am I stuck using the proxy's dns?.
Yes, unless you do the manual fiddling to make the above happen.
I would say that your use case sounds very unusual.
