I tried the next part. It didn't work nicely for me. So what I do now is: Firefox + FoxyProxy and now I can set my proxy individually per site. All the internal work stuff accessed from home goes through the proxy, except the three sites only viewable from the outside; and everything else bypasses the proxy. Much better than trying to deal with a global proxy (although foxyproxy will do that too if that is what you need. And dispense with all the tsocks stuff. I see recent KDE now also supports socks.
