Support for proxies. There are several types of proxy to consider:

SOCKS.
HTTP CONNECT style proxying (connect to the HTTP port and send something like "CONNECT hostname.example.com:22 HTTP/1.0", then parse the HTTP return headers and go)
Simple by-hand proxy: the kind where you telnet to the firewall and type "connect hostname.example.com 22", and then expect a connection to begin.

We would also want the ability to define non-proxy zones (probably give the user the choice of DNS or IP address space).

This has all been implemented in 0.53.
