Use ISA/TMG to distribute your custom WPAD configuration file

I'm just reading up on this stuff - but saw somebody mention that WPAD is outdated and should be avoided. Now a recent post (this one) caters to people having a WPAD config.

In a plain vanilla environment I now think one should go with CARP.

Also - for SharePoint document download it is often suggested to switch off automatic detection in the LAN settings, so that WPAD is taken out of the equation and files load faster. Is there truth to this or could proper WPAD configuration outperformce CARP... or is it more about finegrained control?

Maybe another blogposting?!? ;-)

we heard from some people, that the downloadlink doesn't work. We're currently working on a solution for this. In the meantime please use jim.isatools.org/.../KB953293.zip

Thanks
