.pac file and Firefox's network.proxy.socks_remote_dns setting

Question

Does anyone know if Firefox's setting network.proxy.socks_remote_dns would apply to a SOCKS proxy set by a .pac file or only when manually entered in network options? I ask because I use a dynamic ssh tunnel at work and was trying to automate switching with a .pac file but am now worried that the DNS requests will be being made on the work servers.

Answer 1

Answer is to use the SOCKS5 proxy option as per this link: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=386775&p=8300185
