Try using Java's network configuration properties like http.proxyHost, 
http.proxyPort, https.proxyHost, https.proxyPort, ftp.proxyHost, ftp.proxyPort, 
gopher.proxyHost, gopher.proxyPort, socksProxyHost, socksProxyPort with the -J-D 
switch. For more information have a look into
<JRE_HOME>/lib/net.properties.

If security is key to you, you shouldn't probably be using IcedTea-Web yet. 
Instead, resort to Oracle's Java Web Start implementation. This product is 
feature and specification complete, in contrast to IcedTea-Web. Java Web Start 
has most probably received far more security fixes and screening than 
IcedTea-Web. Personally, at the current stage of IcedTea-Web I would advise any 
enterprise or security aware user not to use IcedTea-Web.
