RE: [squid-users] probably a simple question

Yup I do that as well, but if i'm testing a new web cache out I don;t want
to have to keep changing my auto-proxy config file that is load balanced
over 2 machines and services the whole university every time I want to
access a different cache.

Anyway the way to do it in ie6 is to add a wildcarded ip address in the
exceptions section of your proxy definitions. The "bypass proxy server for
local connections only works for named hosts and not ip addresses.

My exceptions entry has 150.237.*.*;*.hull.ac.uk

which covers everything
