We've got the Proxy autoconfig in use, but of course we can also manually set everything to use a specific proxy server. This is how we are doing it at the moment.

Anyway, if the \\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\AutoConfigURL has a value, then the proxies should be detected from this autoconfig file. See this link: http://code.google.com/p/pacparser/
