Also make sure you have set up the WPAD parameter in your DHCP is your
are using DHCP. The primary WPAD discovery mechanism for MSIE is DHCP.
The other mechanisms (DNS by network, followed by DNS by domain) is just
fallback mechanisms if no WPAD information was provided by DHCP.

This is all documented somewhere in the MSIE and/or MS-Proxy
documentation.
