In theory you could come up with a scenario that might make this
desireable, but you'd need a dns/ip wildcard mapping to proxy info

Win32, I know doesn't really support this concept. It (WinINet) doesn't
really understand having more than one active Dial-Up-Networking kind of
connection active at once. Even though each Dial-Up-Networking
connection has it's own optional proxy settings.
