Re: Auto Proxy Configuration?

Well... I did both :-)

We distribute a custom Internet Explorer with the manual proxies set up,
we tell customers to use the java proxy config with netscape, and we
transparently proxy the remaining through a Linux box (with tproxyd
compiled with -DPAY_THE_PENALTY)

And... All three setups are in the Squid FAQ :-)
