Having that many lines would could my result at the end, just for now I need to provide that huge PAC file to the browser itself while loosing that redirection for other clients such as wget. The proxy managing the redirects would be the preferred central point to configure. As for Firefox browsers I could avoid PAC JS by using special Add-ons to have per-site proxies, but I always preferred integrated functionality over 3rd-party Addons and so I found the PAC feature. As I said, I'm still looking for a way to have different upstream proxies or even use direct connection for some sites. The list of sites and hosts could get some 100 entries, yes. This would even make it possible in Multi-ISP environments, where I have one single proxy but multiple outgoing connections.
