All IE clients when typing in "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" are directed
to the squid proxy. I've tried excluding "localhost" and "127.0.0.1"
in the proxy.pac file the same way I've excluded other locations on
our network and it doesn't seem to work.
I would think IE would not send traffic destined for itself to the
proxy and I would also expect the proxy.pac file to tell IE not use
the proxy for these addresses. What am I missing?

Is the particular version of IE you describe actually using your
proxy.pac? (Check the web logs.)

The proxy.pac is being used because the other listed exemptions bypass
the proxy fine. It turns out that, after adding the localhost
exemptions, the issue is only occurring on the box that I'm testing
from... go figure. Not sure why this one box uses all the exemptions
except for localhost (or 127.0.0.1) but all other machines appear to
be fine. I can't find anything different about the test machine...
I'll blame Mr. Gates and move on. Appreciate the response.
