I know that windows machines won't pick up any option like this from DHCP. You have to use the proxy.pac which I could never get working quite right from anything but a microsoft proxy server. A transparent filter works better anyway, as your users will have a harder time bypassing it.On Fri, 2008-02-01 at 10:21 -0800, nate wrote:Gregory P.

Is there a way to use the dhcpd server to assign the squid server and port number 3128 to each Linux desktop when they boot using the existing dhcpd server. Or do I need to change each user's network preference setup in firefox. The dhcpd server and squid are on the same server.Have you considered setting up squid as a transparent proxy so all HTTP requests go through it instead of configuring the clients to use the proxy? It'd be more secure anyways considering not everything has configuration to use a proxy. nateNate, Thanks for the suggestion... that was a much easier approach. There were some previous posts in November of last year that had some good references. I have everything working as I had hoped. I would still be interested to know if the dhcp servers could be used for this kind of thing. Greg
