	What kind of proxy?  Most proxies that people are exposed to are
actually HTTP or SOCKS proxies.  In these cases, you don't need to
configure FreeBSD to communicate with them so much as you need to
configure the application in question (e.g. Netscape Communicator, ftp,
ssh) to communicate with them.  In that case, see the documentation for
the given application.
