Well, thank you for insisting on the PAC approach, at first I did not 
think it could help me.
But as it turns out, it's pretty simple to use and it works quite well. 
Just in case someone finds it useful, here is the script I wrote:

function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {

 // If URL has no dots in host name, send traffic direct.
   if (isPlainHostName(host))
       return "DIRECT";

 // If specific URL needs to bypass proxy, send traffic direct.
   if (shExpMatch(url,"*domain1.com*") ||
       shExpMatch(url,"*domain2.com*"))                 
       return "DIRECT";
  
   // If host is not resolvable, send direct. This will allow browser 
to retry with prefix/suffix
   if (!isResolvable(host)) return "DIRECT";

 // If IP address is internal or hostname resolves to internal IP, send 
direct.
   var resolved_ip = dnsResolve(host);

   if (isInNet(resolved_ip, "10.0.0.0", "255.0.0.0") ||
       isInNet(resolved_ip, "172.16.0.0",  "255.240.0.0") ||
       isInNet(resolved_ip, "192.168.0.0", "255.255.0.0") ||
       isInNet(resolved_ip, "127.0.0.0", "255.255.255.0"))
       return "DIRECT";
      
   return "PROXY proxy_host:3128";
}
