Yes. SOCKS Proxy can resolve the somesharepoint.mydomain.com What I failed to understand (may be, my lack of knowledge) is: how come InetAddress.getAllByName(host); fails in HTTPClient -> SOCKS Proxy set up and does not fail in HTTP Client -> HTTP Proxy OR Java's javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection -> SOCKS Proxy. I believe InetAddress.getAllByName(host); that is causing a problem is a Java API right?
I would continue to dig. Regards VJ
