I'm not sure about this specific problem, but I've managed to 
circumvent a number of problems like this by using privoxy.  All my 
web traffic goes to 127.0.0.1:8118 and then it gets directed at the 
appropriate outbound port.  Sometimes (when my VPN is active) it goes 
through a proxy server.  When my VPN is inactive, then privoxy sends 
traffic directly to the internet.

I hope this is useful....
