If securing the dns lookups of you browser is good enough, firefox has
the ability to use the other end of a tunnel for dns lookups. Go to
about:config and search for the string 'dns'. I'm posting via
cellphone and can't be more specific.
Just set the variable network.proxy.socks_remote_dns to 'true'.
I had done this in the past, and it led to unreliable load times and my
ssh connection getting wedged pretty frequently, requiring a restart.
Trying it again against a newer ssh server, it seems like those problems
have gone away; probably a switch to some sort of non-blocking DNS lookups
on the server's side. Thanks!
