What are the most common host names that users on this list use for their squid boxes? I'm asking in light of RFC 2219 while cobbling up a fairly generic WPAD proxy.pac file. http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2219.html 3. Special cases Special Cases: ----------------------------------------------------------- Alias Service ----------------------------------------------------------- archie archie [ARCHIE] finger Finger [RFC-1288] ftp File Transfer Protocol [RFC-959] gopher Internet Gopher Protocol [RFC-1436] ldap Lightweight Directory Access Protocol [RFC-1777] mail SMTP mail [RFC-821] news Usenet News via NNTP [RFC-977] ntp Network Time Protocol [RFC-1305] ph CCSO nameserver [PH] pop Post Office Protocol [RFC-1939] rwhois Referral WHOIS [RFC-1714] wais Wide Area Information Server [RFC-1625] whois NICNAME/WHOIS [RFC-954] www World-Wide Web HTTP [RFC-1945] ----------------------------------------------------------- So do folk commonly use these host names for squid, or something else?: squid.example.org proxy.exam.. webcache. cache. www-proxy. webproxy. gateway.
I will go with "proxy.exam.." option.
What is the "prefered" host name for the service?
I will prefer "proxy.exam.." from my side. Thanking you... -- With best regards and good wishes, Yours sincerely, Tek Bahadur Limbu System Administrator (TAG/TDG Group) Jwl Systems Department Worldlink Communications Pvt. Ltd. Jawalakhel, Nepal http://www.wlink.com.np http://teklimbu.wordpress.com
