What happens when you request a page is you perfom a DNS query first, then using that IP send the header information via port 80 (which is intercepted)

Bearing in mind this does not hold if you set your server manually in the internet options.

Sorry my friend but you are wrong.

The fact they are transparent is irrelevant. If you want to test it, add a local host record for a site and point it at 1.2.3.4 - you will still be able to view the site because the proxy looks at the site requested in the http request and does it's own dns look up.
