I had a slightly different problem the other day. I'm abroad, and wanted to watch Hulu, but it's blocked from outside the US. SOCKS to the rescue, right? I'll just use a friends box back home.
Well, opening an ssh connection and telling firefox/safari to use a SOCKS proxy sort of worked, but hulu uses flash's RTMP to ignore the proxy settings of the browser and connect on a different port. Bastards.
That's when I found proxifier. I can tell it to route ALL safari traffic over my little ssh connection back to the states. Worked like a charm.
