Most people who follow this list will know what my automatic response is to this question... Proxy Automatic Configuration (PAC) scripting! http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-5.html
Ah.. excellent. Great idea.
Are these names resolvable via a search suffix on an Intranet DNS server, or are they strictly WINS domain names not visible to DNS at all?
We are using DNS, not WINS for our domain. I think I missed out the appending of our local domain to the computer name in the linux box's dns config. I'll do a google to figure out where to input this info.
If you use an intranet domain and your hosts are all in DNS, this can be easily addressed with append_domain, as a simple google search would tell you: http://nixdoc.net/files/forum/about28247.html
Ah excellent. Google is great if you know what search string to use. Thanks for the info Kevin.
