Description

Since Proxychains proxies DNS requestes, it'll be nice if you could specify by configuration an hostname as localnet.

# Exclude connection to host google.com on port 80
localnet google.com:80

Research direction

Start by tracing how proxychains reads localnet configuration and how hostname-based DNS requests are handled. Verify the requested localnet google.com:80 form excludes that host and port from proxying while other connections remain proxied; no specific files or tests are named in the issue.
