So, then, modify firefox and those other applications to use some new mechanism to get the right information on Solaris. Surely, we can't have the _only_ platform to have faced this problem, can we? I think that hacking WPAD (or similar protocols) is not the right way to go. It just makes it harder for administrators to understand what Solaris is doing. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
