When I get you right, auto proxy recognition can't do without a DNS call.
Reading this, I suggest:
- prevent DNS calls from blocking the GUI
- prevent DNS calls if the proxy string spread via DHCP is an IP (as in my case)
- prevent proxy detection with every URL call; rather define some update interval
  or just lookup proxy settings (wpad.dat) on failure.
