Resolving domains on host for specific SOCKS forwards

Hello. I've been wondering if it is possible to use forward-socks5 while still resolving the domain queries on the host system, without any external software. With default settings, if you send a request which gets forwarded to SOCKS proxy, it would be sent "as is", and then fully processed by remote SOCKS server, including domain resolving. This behaviour can create unneeded complications in environments with specific DNS setup, especcially if making this setup on remote server isn't feasible. As such, I'm searching for a way to disable DNS query forwarding, so that domain resolving will happen on the same host as Privoxy, and not on the SOCKS server. Right now I've managed to achieve that with a combination of badvpn-tun2socks and dante-sockd, but it would be much better it that feature was built-in.
