This innovation is generally broken under Netscape. Under NS3.01
entering "yahoo" stalls for a while until NS realises that "yahoo"
isn't a local machine, then attempts to go to "www.yahoo.com"
directly (which doesn't work well when there is a port 80 firewall).
It seems to ignore the fact that it has to use a proxy server at this
stage (as it still thinks it's trying to do a local - direct - connection).
Probably something to pester bugs@netscape.com with.
This is under NS3.01 using NS PAC and Squid 1.1.0 (with append_domain
being "iacom.com.au").
