[squid-users] WPAD and Squid

This may be a bit off topic but I am having a problem with wpad and my
squid server.

I have the following script setup on the webserver and point to it in
dns.

function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
    if (isPlainHostName(host) ||
        dnsDomainIs(host, ".internaldomain.com") ||
        dnsDomainIs("windowsupdate.microsoft.com") ||
        dnsDomainIs("wustat.windows.com"))
        return "DIRECT";
    else
        return "PROXY proxyserver:3128; DIRECT";
}

"internaldomain and proxyserver are correct in the implemented script
and are just changed for posting"

The script works fine. Our IE implementation is set to auto detect
proxy. Some of my users pickup the wpad.dat script and use the proxy
properly. Some of the users do not pickup the script so they do not use
the proxy. It seems that even though the users have the auto detect set
on their browsers, they are not auto detecting. I would say about 2 out
of 10 people are hitting the proxy.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

TIA,

Craig
