That is unclear to me how you could have that in gnome2. Gnome 3 should
behave the same as Gnome 2 in term of proxy logic. There might be a bug
in the new proxy code now in glib-networking library. Would be nice to
provide with full scenario.

For more complex proxy settings, I usually recommend using an JavaScript
PAC file**. In your gnome setting, choose automatic, set an URI like
file:///home/me/my.pac . With a PAC file you can do a lot more, like
choosing proxies base on domain, or current subnet, etc.
