Almost - because of the wpad cahnges in SP2, 127/8 is only necessary if there 
are *any* addresses in the list.
It won't add it otherwise.

Hi Raj,

SP2 does this automatically:

//Copyright (c) 1997-2004 Microsoft Corporation BackupRoute="DIRECT"; 
UseDirectForLocal=true; function MakeIPs(){ this[0]="127.0.0.0"; 
this[1]="255.0.0.0"; this[2]="192.168.1.0"; this[3]="255.255.255.0"; 
this[4]="224.0.0.0"; this[5]="255.0.0.0";

Thanks Jim.
We have been very happy with ISA Server 2000 for 5 years, with 3000 clients. I 
expected the same or better experience with ISA 2004. Well, definitely ISA 2004 
is better in many aspects. But something that worked fine in ISA 2000 does not 
work so fine with ISA 2004. Now we need to push the registry change to 3000 
clients. Why cant Microsoft just modify the wpad script, so that 127.0.0.1 is 
treated as a bypassed address by default. It's a very obvious localhost 
address. There are many large networks that wont allow Internet name resolution 
with internal DNS.
Even if the NetBIOS node type is changed, the client will still try to do DNS 
resolution for each URL using the internal DNS, and fail before going to the 
proxy. This still increases the page refresh times. Why cant Microsoft just add 
the 127.0.0.1, the obvious local loopback address as a default bypassed address 
in the wpad script. That will make life easier for everyone.

Thanks.

No.
The NB bcst will stop when you apply the netbt regvalue I listed earlier (and 
earlier still) and reboot the machines where you make that change.
You should have applied it to your ISA as well.
Applying SP2 and running the script will give you the best possible wpad 
experience for your clients.
..of course, it can't fix a buggered network...

Hi Jim,
So in my case, with SP2 applied, and the right IP addresses added to the Web 
Browser tab, I should not see the WINS broadcast that was happening earlier 
with every request that was initiated by the client. This should work even if 
the internal DNS does not resolve Internet names. Is that correct?

Initially when I installed the array, I had the Web browser tab populated with 
internal Ips. After the slow access, page refresh problem, I removed all 
entries in the Web Browser tab.

There are changes to the wpad script that help reduce this name lookup hell.
Best behavior for web proxy clients is seen when either:
- the local domains list has *no* IPs listed
- the local domains list includes *correct* IPs.

Note that if *any* IPs exist, ISA will add the 127/8 range - so *don't add it*.

What in Service Pack 2 fixes the slow resolution problem? Is it related somehow 
to that strange reference regarding needing to add the IP addresses of the 
domains included in the Web browser Direct Access list?
Seems like a PIA, given that I have no idea what addresses Microsoft.com, et 
al. use and when they change over time.
