How about having a lightweight proxy on every machine. All configuration should point to the local proxy. When the network changes, only the proxy need be informed of the changes. It's a horrible hack, I know :) but configuration in the environment isn't dynamic enough, and hell will freeze over before any new configuration scheme reaches the level of acceptance that http_proxy in env has. -Cam
I think that is a bit over kill. Quite possible, an iptables approach to make things more transperent, along with system wide applying of proxy configs (maybe a plugin system so diff. apps can let the configuring app know where to find them) might be easier to do. -- To be updated... -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
