with IE 5.0 with set to "automatic", the config file is read when the
browser starts.
why do you think, it's not requested? IE only sends an IMS request when
the file is already cached.
log from thttpd:

touch the config file and see whether it will be received from the server.
otherwise you should change the registry entry by the domain logon script
