Hi,
I am having some issues getting my wpad file to work with all OS’s and versions 
of IE.

This is what I have setup:

function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
                // If hostname with no dots, e.g. http://intranet, go direct
                if (isPlainHostName(host)) return "DIRECT";

                // Resolve hostname to IP address, if matches go direct
                if (isInNet(host, "172.0.0.0", "255.0.0.0")) return "DIRECT";

                // If internal DNS name go direct
                if (dnsDomainIs(host, ".domain.local")) return "DIRECT";

                // All other request to go via proxy server. It that fails try 
direct
                return "PROXY fw1.domain.local:8080; DIRECT";
}

This works with Windows XP and IE8 and I am able to get to both 172.22.0.0 and 
172.24.0.0 networks.

Trying it on Windows 7 with IE9 though most of it works but I can’t get to 
172.24.0.0 network. It tries to go via the firewall and fails.

Is there and issue with IE9, any feedback on a better wpad file?

Thanks

Andy
