i have an apache-proxy and want to use squid in front of this proxy to make something like an user identification based on the server domain name.
What you mean exacly?
my plan is the following: squid is reachable under the domain *.proxy.domain.ch. every proxy-user integrates his user-id in the name of the server domain name of my proxy when he uses the proxy (in the style of: user-id.proxy.domain.ch). squid then should use this user-id as authentification name for the apache-proxy.
Users identifying themselves by which proxy name they have configured in their browser?
The domain name set in the proxy settings of the clients is only used by the client to find the address of the proxy. It is never transmitted on the wire to the proxy.
The proxy can not know what name the client used to resolve the address of the proxy. All the proxy knows is which IP address (and port) the client connection was accepted on. It can do a reverse-lookup to find what single host name is registered in the DNS reverse zone for that IP, but I do not think this will help you much.
