Interesting. We support many thousands of Windows workstations, all using proxy.pac but none using WPAD. I do not see any requests for "proxy.pa" in the logs on the web server hosting the PAC file. I do see a ton of errors for some really humorous typos -- it's amazing how many different ways there are to creatively spell "proxy" :) Kevin Kadow (P.S. I do see a high number of requests for "proxy.pac?Type=WMT", is anybody else seeing these?)
