Comment:

 Upon looking at this closer (and reading the
 [http://www.apps.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1928.html RFC]), I'm not sure this is at
 all feasible.

 SOCKS5 supports name-based connection establishment, but it doesn't echo
 back the resolved IP, nor can we actually just use SOCKS5 for connecting
 to the STUN server.
