Netscape's DNS routines will look up 'www.host.com' if you just type in
'host' and there is no 'host' to be found.
However, if you tell Netscape to use a proxy server, it will let the proxy
server do DNS instead
lynx does DNS lookups either way.. IMHO this defeats the proxying feature to
some extent
