are Wildcards possible for host name in "no proxy for" setting?

Our LAN requires a proxy for internet access. I need to bypass proxy for certain host names, as the proxy blocks many ports.

Things work if I enter the entire host name. But there are many, so I wish to use wildcards in the host name.

That does not seem to work.

I believe you can use a range (as in the example given in the window).

Thanks for the replies.

I am referring to Host Names, not IP addresses.

The links provided actually do appear to say that wildcards in host names do not work. That is for "host names only".

Seems odd.

There is no solution for host names and wild cards as far as I know. That is why I showed how to do this with the IP.

Does it work if you only specify the top level domain if you want to include other domains with the same postfix?
