I think you're talking about the 'netscape' client....

Sort of, but some of the nifty 4.1 features aren't supporte.d They
wrote their own version of the libsocks.a because of some screwy
multithreading problem.  Our users here have to go in and remove the
sockd config stuff to use our internal name server as a result of
their not supporting the 'current' sockd features.  

Netscape also fails to support multihomed servers, their unix client
complains about a config file with multiple sockd@ entries like:

sockd @
 gate1  x.x.x.x y.y.y.y
sockd @
 gate2  x.x.x.x y.y.y.y
