Host-admin not useful with proxies

If you're using a proxy, changes to the hosts file won't be visible when
browsing with Firefox, as the proxy can't see the hosts file. It would be nice
if HostAdmin would offer an option to automatically bypass proxies when it
detects an entry in the hosts file.

maybe i need more details
what kind of proxy you are using ?
do you mean a proxy changes the way that firefox resolves a domain name ?

When you use a web proxy, the web proxy does the DNS resolution.
So usually you'd like to connect through the proxy, but when you use HostAdmin,
to make it work, you'd need to disable the proxy, otherwise it would have no
effect on Firefox.
