Windows send only specific domains to proxy?
-
Anyone ever setup windows to send only specific domains to a proxy? I'd like a browser agnostic solution so I don't have to try to maintain specific browsers, but will configure Google Chrome specifically (if possible) if I can't get a system wide solution.

@dashrender outbound web filtering? or web routing?

Easiest thing is to override DNS for that domain and point to the proxy. Then the proxy can point on to whatever is real.

How do you propose doing that? remember these are laptops to be used from anywhere, I won't be able to control DNS in most places.
Are you suggesting putting an entry in hosts?

When these specific machines go to abc.com they need to go to the proxy, the proxy will then forward the request onto the real site.

That's what I'd look at for mobile devices.
In a network you control DNS for, it's much easier since you can make the change in one place.

Ah, I see. Then yes, that's an easy answer.

But an EASIER answer, I think, is to make your own CNAME.
