[UniMacTech] Proxies and Macs

[Lindsay Robertson]

Hi, We've had problems too.

We use squid on a linux box, and i've found that all mac traffic is  
being bounced off the proxy for everything. We've altered our pac file


// vim: syntax=javascript

function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
    if (shExpMatch( host, "172.20.*.*" )
    ||  shExpMatch( host, "127.*" )
    ||  shExpMatch( host, "localhost" )
    ||  shExpMatch( host, "*.your.domain.com" )
    ||  isPlainHostName( host )
    ||  dnsDomainIs( host, ".your.domain.com" )) {
        return "DIRECT";
    }

// You shouldn't need this, but in some cases it might be handy:
    if (isInNet(host, "172.20.0.0", "255.255.0.0")) {
        return "DIRECT";
    }
   return "PROXY yourproxy.goes.here:port; DIRECT";
}

going mucho bettero now.
