RE: [squid-users] probably a simple question

Yup I do that as well, but if i'm testing a new web cache out I don;t want 
to have to keep changing my auto-proxy config file that is load balanced 
over 2 machines and services the whole university every time I want to 
access a different cache.

Anyway the way to do it in ie6 is to add a wildcarded ip address in the 
exceptions section of your proxy definitions. The "bypass proxy server for 
local connections only works for named hosts and not ip addresses.

My exceptions entry has 150.237.*.*;*.hull.ac.uk

which covers everything

The othe 1% of the time I configure an explicit web
cache (for testing purposes) in IE6 and then specify an
exclusion list

the above is all very well, but i also want to access
some of our network boxes using their ip address. Can you
tell ie to go direct to an ip address?
No, but you can use your proxy auto-config script; just return DIRECT
for a given IP address.
