What I have done is used a proxy config file called proxy_ie.pac for IE
and proxy_ns.pac for Mozilla/Netscape. I then used the "Automatic proxy
Configuration" to define the URL to the file.
The proxy pac file for my company is as follows
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
if ((isPlainHostName(host) ||
dnsDomainIs(host, ".sibern.com.au")) &&
!localHostOrDomainIs(host, "www.sibern.com.au"))
return "DIRECT";
else if (shExpMatch(host, "192.168.1.*"))
return "DIRECT";
else
return "PROXY wwwcache.sibern.com.au:8080";
}
