'Browse through the remote network: `ssh -N -D 1080 host` and point the client at the SOCKS proxy' leaves out the step that decides whether internal names resolve at all. A SOCKS client may resolve the host name locally and send the proxy an IP address, or send the name and let the proxy resolve it; only the second reaches names that exist only in the remote network's DNS, and only the second avoids leaking every visited name to the local resolver. Clients differ: curl treats `socks5://` as local resolution and `socks5h://` as proxy-side resolution, and Firefox has a separate checkbox, 'Proxy DNS when using SOCKS v5'. With local resolution, `db.internal` fails as an unresolvable name and the tunnel looks broken although it works. The bullet should say to use the remote-resolving form, and to test with `curl --proxy socks5h://localhost:1080 http://internal-host/` before blaming the tunnel.
