summary: 'no proxy for' syntax under proxy server

[G. Saghi-S. <g.s...@gl...>]

hi,
 thanks to all who replied. seems to me that webmin does a string compare
when decides whether to use a proxy or not to reach a particular host.

 if the hosts you are trying to reach are specified by their full domain
names, 'no proxy' can be defined as a list of host names separated by
spaces. if 'no proxy' is for an entire zone, e.g. all hosts in webmin.com,
.webmin.com should be specified.

 if hosts are specified by their ip numbers, a list of ip numbers
separated by spaces can be defined. an entire subnet can be defined by
leaving the host portion off, e.g. 10. for a class, 172.16. for b class, 
or 192.168.0. for c class.

 all of these definitions can be mixed on the 'no proxy' line, as long as
they are separated by space characters.

bests,
