RE: Dynamic Content Caching/Windowsupdate/Facebook/youtube

You recommended the change in order of refresh_patterns  same is written in the reference materials. I tried to understand what could be the reason for that but have no clue yet please guide. Further for windows clients (xpwithservice pack 3 an latest windows mostly ) do i need to manually do the configuration for winhttp proxysettings through proxycfg.exe on each computer?
 
regards,
