 * `dig` stands for "domain information groper". e.g. `dig www.google.com`.
 * `traceroute` prints the route that packets take to a network host. e.g. 
`traceroute www.google.com`.
 
+## Proxy settings
+Depending on the type of location, brooklyn might use HTTP to provision 
machines (clocker, jclouds). If the host environment defines proxy settings, 
these might interfere with the reachability of the respective HTTP service.
+
+One such case is using VirtualBox with host-only or private internal network 
settings, while using an external proxy for accessing the internet. It is clear 
that the external proxy won't be able to route HTTP calls properly, but that 
might not be clear when reading the logs (although brooklyn will present the 
failing URL).
+
+Try accessing the web-service URLs from a browser via the proxy, or perhaps 
try running brooklyn with proxy disabled:
+```
+    export http_proxy=
+    bin/brooklyn launch
+```
