I have just re-read this thread and looked into DNS leakage, and as I suspected in my earlier post, DNS leaks are an important issue. So this will have to be an option that is disabled by default. I cannot add an option to the proxy dialog just now since it will not fit cleanly, so I have delayed adding this feature.
However, I have made a change so that /dns $server will fill $serverip. Socks5 users will be able to add /dns $server to a numeric 001 event to fill $serverip, which is what an mIRC option would do in any case.
Note: The priority currently is to ensure that the Unicode version of mIRC (which took over a year of work and required tens of thousands of code changes) is stable and working as closely to mIRC v6.35 as possible. Once that has been achieved, the next set of major changes are planned, which include interface changes.
