Socks5 proxy support for communicating with DNS providers.

Does lexicon support socks5 proxy when communicating with DNS providers?

Well, it depends on your usecase, but I would say that it is out of reach of Lexicon. Most providers will make TCP requests on dedicated URLs using the default network stack, so if you configure your machine to create a tunnel for the outgoing traffic through a Socks5 proxy, Lexicon will use it also.

I mean to set the socks5 proxy on the side of lexicon when going through the network stack, say, by using socket module/pysocks, environment variable, and so on.
