Re: no proxy for

Malcolm,

        Sorry, misunderstood the question. ;-) I picked up on a few words
then gave you answer for what I thought you really wanted.

        OK, now I will give you the answer you really wanted. The best
way to implement the solution you want is to write a proxy automatic
configuration script for your browser. These are quite good, and you just
tell your clients the URL.

        Here is some info on how to write one.

Hope that helps,

Dave.
