That's not the case for OpenSSH; it's supported socks5 since 2003 (v3.7 
and up) and socks4a since January last year (v5.2 and up).  Both of 
those support resolving names on the server side if the socks client 
asks for it (eg in Firefox, about:config -> 
network.proxy.socks_remote_dns=true).

usually comes from bad judgement.
