First point -- absolutely.
Second point -- okay -- gets more complicated when I'd hoped for a simple fix ( :-) )
Third point -- no, if one path fails, I'd have ALL users go to the proxy, and hopefully have the proxy automatically find a successful route.
Fourth point -- I'd like to keep this as general as possible, since I'm the only one using OS X and all other users are on Windows (well, most). So yes, networking would be best. OS X is essentially Linux, so I have access to any Linux solutions, but the Windows machines may not.
And finally -- is there an "official" way of requesting this sort of thing of the moderators?

lwp::protocol::socks
LWP::Protocol::socks(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation LWP::Protocol::socks(3pm)
NAME
LWP::Protocol::socks - adds support for the socks protocol and proxy facility
SYNOPSIS
use LWP::Protocol::socks;
DESCRIPTION
Use this package when you wish to use a socks proxy for your connections.
It provides some essential hooks into the LWP system to implement a socks "scheme" similar to http for describing your socks connection,
and can be used to proxy either http or https connections.
The use case is to use LWP::UserAgent's proxy method to register your socks proxy like so:
$ua->proxy([qw(http https)] => 'socks://socks.yahoo.com:1080');
Then just use your $ua object as usual!
EXAMPLES
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;
use LWP::UserAgent;
my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent(agent => 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.5) Gecko/20060719 Firefox/1.5.0.5');
# for socks5, use socks like so:
$ua->proxy([qw(http https)] => 'socks://socks.yahoo.com:1080');
# for socks4, use socks4 like so:
$ua->proxy([qw(http https)] => 'socks4://socks.yahoo.com:1080');
my $response = $ua->get("http://www.freebsd.org");
print $response->code,' ', $response->message,"
";
my $response = $ua->get("https://www.microsoft.com");
print $response->code,' ', $response->message,"
";
