Alex, a quick thank you. You gave me a lot to think about.

It's not a campus setup but a large corporate (spread widely). But I  
suppose the same issues apply. The VPN danger is probably very real.  
In this instance, it's for a specific company, so I may be able to  
provide a tailored solution. However, it would be nice to have  
something generic. The same app runs in some other companies, but  
with the server in the company. So this issue hasn't arisen before.

Initially I was looking for a way to automatically discover the  
proxy, but I gave up on this, and thought of seeing if the network  
had changed instead. Perhaps I should go back and explore the  
"discover proxy" route a bit further.

Thanks again.

Dave
