[squid-users] IE6 & WPAD

In IE5, 5.5 if you selected 'automatic detect proxy settings', it would
search wpad.domain.com of the machine and if you had a wpad.dat file, it
would let you with the same info that proxy.pac contained, automagically
configure the browsers proxy settings. In IE6, this appears not to work,
and instead, it has 'automatic configuration', as in browser
configuration, not just proxy, and doesn't check for wpad.domain.com.

Any way in IE6 to have it search a host automagically for proxy/and or all
config settings. Drove me nuts for some reason some people were being
forwarded to the proxy, and found out it was all the ie6 users that were
not!
