You probably want to look at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_auto-config http://web.archive.org/web/20060424005037/wp.netscape.com/eng/mozilla/2.0/relnotes/demo/proxy-live.html > I am looking for a solution that will allow FF in each office to query > the web site in the US office ( because > http://wpad.example.tld/wpad.dat will be the same for every office), > and get back settings that are appropriate to the office.

You can dynamically generate proxy.pac from a CGI script. Look at the source IP and customize appropriately. http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/199708/0193.html Just setup your web server to handle .pac or .dat requests as a CGI. In lighttpd you'd use cgi.assign and Apache would use AddHandler in your <Directory> config. http://redmine.lighttpd.net/wiki/1/Docs:ModCGI http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/cgi.html Hope this helps. -- Blake Covarrubias
