I'd appreciate if this can be checked in, or rejected if there's a problem with it.

1. There's no dissection of the domain name, if the remote address is 0.0.0.x (i.e., using SOCKS 4a) 2. The remote address in subsequent packets remains 0.0.0.x, although it should have been switched to the remote address replied by the server.

Attached pleae find a patch against current CVS to the first problem, the second is messier. I'd be happy if someone can also take a look at the patch and comment. I'm not sure it's complete.

SOCKS v4a is documented in http://www.socks.nec.com/protocol/socks4a.protocol.
