Is it possible to stop the SSH connection freezing when using dynamic port forwarding (SOCKS proxy) when it encounters an unresponsive DNS name?
I found the whole SSH connection freezes when going on ebay.co.uk with connect failed: Temporary failure in name resolution printed several times in the terminal and the only way to get it working again is to kill the ssh process and restart it. I narrowed it down to ebay.entmag.co.uk causing the freeze and get Temporary failure in name resolution when pinging it.
