The exception list is part of the browser. It doesn't matter if it was 98,
NT, 2000, XP, or 2003. It is all the same. You never needed that in 98 or
NT either,...what it really depended on what what kind of device was being
used to "provide" the Internet (proxy, nat firewall, etc) and how that
device is built, configured, and how its "behavor logic" is designed.
For example a CERN Compliant Web Proxy would resolve the URL on behalf of
the client (client doesn't resolve it itself typically in such cases). The
DNS used by the proxy must be the one setup to resolve to the IP# you
desire. It then compared the discovered IP# to the Local Address Table (LAT)
and if it was in the table the proxy "dropped out" and let the client acess
the site directly, but it the address was not in the LAT it would pass the
request to the outbound Internet router. A NAT-based Firewall device would
be a little different, the client would resolve the URL itself, so whatever
DNS it used had to be the right one so it would resolve to the right
address. Once it had the address it would drop the request on to the "wire"
if it was the same subnet or pass it to the Layer3 routing scheme (default
gateway or static specified gateway). If the request then reached the
Firewall Device it would compare it to it LAT and process accrdingly.
I have used each of those variations here at our location and run Win95,
Win98, NT4.0, Win2000, XP, and Server 2000 & 2003. I have never had to
include an exception in the Browsr's exception list.
