Details

For a large site you want to bypass the proxy for all local addresses which can be enabled with the following pref network.proxy.no_proxies_on = localhost, 127.0.0.1, 172.20.0.0/16, 172.20.200.151 if you surf to a web page like http://172.20.12.122/foo.html then the proxy is bypassed, but if testname resolves to the same address and you go to http://testname/foo.html then the request goes via the server. the name as well as the resolved IP address should be checked against the rules.

the problem is of course that then mozilla would actually have to resolve that hostname even if a proxy is configured... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 136789 ***
