I'm wondering if the JDBC driver could  use a factory arg for the
regular socket factory, like it has for SSLSocketFactory with
"sslfactory".  That'd make this, and other situations using proxies with
weird auth schemes, various tunneling systems, etc much easier to use
without JDBC driver mods or changing system-wide behaviour for
potentially unrelated socket-using operations.
