Bypass the proxy for local addresses/domains. How you're configuring your
clients will determine where this is managed:
1. If you're using automatic proxy config, edit the config file that the
   clients read and add something like this:
   (See http://wp.netscape.com/eng/mozilla/2.0/relnotes/demo/proxy-live.html
   for all the details)

   //If they have only specified a hostname, go directly.
   if (isPlainHostName(host))
       return "DIRECT";

   //These connect directly
   if (shExpMatch(host, "saturno*")||
       shExpMatch(host, "terra*")||
       shExpMatch(host, "epimetheus*")||
       shExpMatch(host, "127.0.0.*"))
       return "DIRECT";

2. If you're configuring the clients in the browsers manually, select whatever
   options are appropriate to bypass the proxy for local addresses.
