Re: Squid as Web SERVER (for .pac files)?

You could bind Apache (or some other web server) to
proxy.comnet.com.tr:8080, and then you could bind Squid to a diffent port
(the default port of 3128 is probably a good choice) and edit your
proxy.pac to reflect the new proxy port. If you did this during a nice
period of little or no use (in the very early morning perhaps?) then your
users would most likely not see any change in the functioning of their
browsers.
