Is there some setting in PuTTY that I can change so that DNS
lookups are done securely as well?

Assuming you're using dynamic port forwarding, you need to at least set
the setting described at the following location correctly:
<http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.58/htmldoc/Chapter4.html#config-proxy-dns>

However, that's not much help if the application you're pointing at
PuTTY's proxy insists on doing its own name lookups. IIRC, web browsers
such as Firefox fall into this category.
