Last time I tried, this did not work.

A serious omission, IMO.


We have a lot of environments where the only way to connect to the
internet is via a proxy-server...

I looked and there is a patch 

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/129431

from 2010 that is supposedly working on 9.1 still...

Never tried it myself, though.
