I think I've read about a DHCP option like ms-proxy-something to provide WWW proxy information to clients. Unfortunatly I can't remember where and can't find it :-( Browsing the RFCs 2131/2132 there are all sorts of options - also a default WWW server (without port), hmh. Is the proxy configuration entirely up to the browser? - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
