There is a relatively simple feature to keep this function while still
using a proxy. This feature of the browser is activated when the browser
encounters an unresolvable hostname, so you activate this function by
using a proxy autoconfig scripts which tells the browser to attempt to
contact the site directly if the destination is unresolvable.

Another alternative is to build the function in the proxy by using a url
rewriter helper.
