Here is a very simple automatic configuration program that I'm using:

        function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
        {
          if ((isPlainHostName(host) ||
             dnsDomainIs(host, ".albatross.com")) &&
            !localHostOrDomainIs(host, "www.albatross.com"))

            return "DIRECT";
          else
            return "PROXY squid.albatross.com:3128; DIRECT";
        }

It is lifted pretty much verbatim from the Netscape Navigator release
