you will use NTLs DNS every time your browser needs to lookup a domain address ( assuming of course you are connected via ntl and havent overriden the dns settings )
it may well be that the url is passed 'as is' to the proxy so no DNS is required, but i am not sure if that is the case with transparent proxies ( where the browser is not aware of the proxies existence and send the request as if the proxy wasnt there, but the proxy intercepts it )
