Your configuration example works as advertised for my Firewall/Web-Proxy clients ... with ONE SMALL CAVEAT. IE only seems to learn the contents of the Direct Access list IF the user is logged on with Administrative privileges to the local workstation. Is the list written by the auto-configuration process to an area of the Registry to which the non-admin user can't write? Or, is there some other explanation for this?
