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.

Have you considered setting up squid as a transparent proxy so all HTTP requests go through it instead of configuring the clients to use the proxy? It'd be more secure anyways considering not everything has configuration to use a proxy.
