Which browsers allow you to send DNS queries through a proxy?

I know Firefox allows you to direct all of the DNS requests it makes through a proxy, but I was curious if other browsers do as well. If others do allow this, are there any additional steps that need to be done?

I prefer to tunnel through an SSH tunnel to a server I own and then direct all of my web-browsing traffic through it, when using other networks. Basically I keep a USB half-filled with a truecrypt blob. In the unencrypted portion I keep a portable truecrypt app. In the encrypted blob, I keep a portable firefox, a copy of putty, my personal ssh key and an instance of keepass.

When traveling, I can pop the usb into my laptop (or some other system), fire up truecrypt, mount the encrypted blob as a drive, fire up putty to ssh to my server, then run firefox through the ssh tunnel.

Anyway, I was curious if I had other options than firefox, that keeps my dns queries from my browsing private.
