1118914 2010-07-15 03:01:00 Hi all,

We have a long list of local addresses for which we need to bypass our proxy server, so we use a wildcard for our local domain in the "bypass proxy for local addresses" in IE8 (*.domain.com). However, we have an external site with the same domain for which we NEED to use a proxy server.

How can we force the use of the proxy server for the single external site?

The PAC file can be hosted anywhere that computer can connect to. E.g On itself; on a networked device or on the Internet.

1118918 2010-07-15 06:52:00 If your clients are Windows PCs, you can push out proxy settings using your DHCP server - i.e. push out a proxy.pac file to use, so that your users never have to change anything at their end other than tick "Automatically detect settings". somebody (208)
1118919 2010-07-15 07:41:00 if you use chrome or FFox then try proxy switchy, then set a rule to use the proxy when you visit the site that requires proxy. and bypass proxy when you visit siteX that doesn't need one The Error Guy (14052)
