Yes, but I guess the question now is how to get Windows and OS-X clients to automatically use a proxy when their main route to a server fails.

AFAIK Windows clients are either configured to use a proxy (all the time) or they aren't.

AFAIK you can't have, say, IE connecting direct and Firefox using a proxy. I believe that they both look at the network configuration of the machine. Otherwise you could have told your users to use the other browser when the problem occurs but I don't think that will work.

Hmmmmm.........if we ask moderators to move this thread do we move it to Windows, OS-X, or both. Also, Networking might be a good shot as networking experts may know a solution.
