Thanks for the comment and I think you are right that it takes any thing that "starts with" but why would *.domain.com not work while subdomain.domain.com would? They both have the same beginning right? Also if that were true then why does *.domain.com allow all subdomains to pass but not a domain with a suffix? The beginnings in both cases are the same.

Exceptions I have a pac file but prefer not to use it because I need to define access by AD group not by IP address as you would in a pac file. So I use GPO's to define proxy settings per user. Is the exceptions field in IE not as flexible as the exceptions statements in the pac file?

For full control write a PAC script instead of using the manual proxy settings & exceptions. Regards Henrik
