Everyone,
I have set up squid as a proxy http server in order to filter web access for an office that wants to block certain web sites.
Is there a way to use the dhcpd server to assign the squid server and port number 3128 to each Linux desktop when they boot using the existing dhcpd server. Or do I need to change each user's network preference setup in firefox. The dhcpd server and squid are on the same server.
I have looked at the man pages for dhcpd, dhcpd.conf, dhcp-options, dhcllient, and dhclient.conf.
I found an option :
option www-server ###.###.###.### However there was no reference to stipulate a port number like 3128 that is used by squid.
Other searching on the web has uncovered the use of:
option custom-proxy-server "http://192.168.1.1/wpad.pac" but I am uncertain as to how to configure wpad.pac file
Any answers or suggestions on reading material would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Greg Ennis
