I assume from the context you're referring to your web browser proxy
connection, as opposed to some other proxy (eg. Squid)? If so, and you're
using Auto settings in the browser, try manually setting the proxy values. A
DNS issue may be resolved by entering the IP of the proxy in the
relevant settings box instead of the FQDN, or by adding an entry to your
/etc/hosts for the new proxy.

This advice only makes sense if you are attempting to use your ISP's proxy as
a parent for a proxy you're running on your local machine.

I'd be surprised if you find anything related.

I hope I have!
