That was a poor choice of words on my part. It was my assumption that
the FWC would do a DNS lookup to resolve the wpad/wspad entries. After
testing this a bit, I'm beginning to wonder about that.
I'm not entirely sure that Jim still recommends it, but it was discussed
awhile back that the DNS resolution of the wpad settings was
significantly faster than the DHCP resolution.

Hi Jim,
If we do not go the "auto-magic" route, what type of configuration do
you recommend?
Thanks,

As soon as you depend on "auto-magic" anything, you're in for a real
treat.
Double-check your DNS (or gawd help you, your WINS) server to make sure
it has the proper records and that it's responding to queries.
Check your DHCP server to make sure your wpad option (252) is configured
properly.
IOW, own your network or be owned by it.

Had a bit of a problem this morning... Internet browsing traffic became
extremely sluggish, so I tried it on another computer and it too was
sluggish. I looked on the ISA server, and traffic going over the
Internet NIC dropped to almost nothing. I opened up the FWC and clicked
on "Detect Now", it hung there for a minute and then failed to find the
server.
So, I dropped to a command prompt and did a lookup on wpad and wspad,
both of which resolved instantly. Then, all of a sudden, everything
started to work again!
Why would doing a simple DNS lookup for wpad/wspad (I tried both, so I'm
not sure which one did it) get everything working again? Doesn't the
FWC do that automagically?
