Try this:

file: proxy.pac:

// Automatic Proxy Configuration File
// Last update: 19970505
// Location: http://wwwserver/proxy.pac

function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
    if (isPlainHostName(host))
                return "DIRECT";
    else if (dnsDomainIs(host, "mydomain"))
                return "DIRECT";
    else if (dnsDomainIs(host, "localhost"))
                return "DIRECT";
    else if (dnsDomainIs(host, "mydomain") ||
             isInNet(host, "127.0.0.1", "255.255.0.0") ||
             isInNet(host, "myipdomain", "255.255.0.0"))
                return "DIRECT";
    else
        return "PROXY proxyserver:port";
}

For example:
mydomain = utwente.nl
myipdomain = 130.89.0.0
proxyserver = proxy.student.utwente.nl

This script defines that if the computer of which a page is requested is
in mydomain or myipdomain it will go direct to a WWW page (not use proxy)
and for every other page we will go through the proxy.

If proxy is unavailable go direct.
