If the proxy's address is the only address fetch tries to resolve, it maybe 
could help, if you modify common.c in libfetch. Add "hints.ai_flags = 
AI_NUMERICHOST;" before the getaddrinfo calls (line# 244 anf 275). This 
should disable DNS resolving (assuming you set proxy-url to a numeric host as 
mentioned above).
