(It’s only supposed to check to the second level, but according to the [Microsoft Security Bulletin MS99-054 | http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms99-054.mspx] the third level was special-cased in some unspecified ways. Presumably someone could register <tt>wpad.co.nz</tt> and be really nasty if they wanted.)

+(BeauButler: I _have_ registered wpad.co.nz, and do _not_ intend to be 'really nasty'. I am collecting the 404 logs with the intention to produce some nice charts, hoever. Also, the wpad organisational-boundaries bug appears to have _resurfaced_ in Internet Explorer 7!!)
''<tt>wpad.com</tt> does actually exist and is owned by Duane Wessles, the author of [Web Caching | http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/webcaching/]. There's no <tt>wpad.dat</tt> there. I mailed him a while back asking about it, and he constantly gets between 10 and 40 hits per second depending on the time of day. The 404 logs for that site are at http://www.life-gone-hazy.com/%7esnmp/http_status.cgi if you're interested.'' —zcat(1)
Note: you might need to take the tick out of the check box and put it back in order to make it go.
