localhost cannot be resolved while behind proxy [closed]

        When I am connected to the proxy at work, and I call localhost as the protocol or .local as the top-level domain, I get the error from the proxy that the DNS could not resolve the name "localhost". I assume the proxy just needs to be configured to loopback when it encounters localhost. But why is localhost pinging the DNS at all? Why doesn't it loop back when I use localhost before it even leaves the machine?
