Unfortunately I hit send before your second email came through-- it 
explained the problem nicely.

That is a nasty problem; I'd say that the /etc/hosts solution is 
probably the least painful solution, if (and only if) it works; I'd want 
to verify that it didn't behave unexpectedly; I'm pretty certain that 
all host resolution for externals occurs clientside, but I'd not stake 
my job on it.

Would standing up a shell account  / *nix server for him for a month or 
two outside of his restrictive proxy server's jurisdiction be a viable 
option?
