Then you need a proxy.pac file to configure your domain browsers
correctly. The file should be like this:

---- begin 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";
}

---- end proxy.pac ----

If you want more info about this you can read:

You must need to modify your web server too to handle this file correcly
(MIME type:application/x-ns-proxy-autoconfig pac).

Un saludo.
