m trying to get WPAD working, but Mozilla Firefox is not playing game.
IE is working.
My DNS entry:
--------------------
wpad IN A 192.168.111.9
IN TXT "service:
wpad:http://wpad.example.local:80/wpad.dat";
wpad.tcp IN SRV 0 0 80 wpad.example.local.
My DHCP entry:
option wpad-url code 252 = text;
option wpad-url "http://wpad.example.local/wpad.dat\n";;
My guess is something broken with the DNS method and IE is working
because it also tries the DNS method (which really only works for IE
anyway).
Is the DHCP server giving out a correct DNS suffix (the same suffix the
wpad DNS entry is under)?
TB
I found the problem. Looks like the client does a query for
http://192.168.111.9/wpad.dat.
and I can ping wpad (no dns suffix added)
Which would actually rely on apaches "default" virtual host.
I confirmed this by copying the wpad.dat file to /var/www.
All works.
Now to figure what my next step is / or how im going to fix this, cause
I dont like that default used, but good to know its "working"

Does your DHCP WPAD setting have that IP in it? or the client have no
local domain set?
IIRC Firefox checked once for wpad.<localdomain>/wpad.dat via DNS
instead of the ghastly recursive methods IE tries.
