You'll need to teach squid to parse and process .pac files. IIRC there is an ECMAScript library around somewhere. Grabbing the pac file internally is quite easy in squid-3, and not-quite-so-easy but still not hard in 2.x. Use an event to refresh the .pac at regular intervals. Finally, you may need to refactor some of the squid code to allow more dynamic reconfiguration - but that will depend on how radical a change the .pac file may go through. Most stuff should be trivial to change. Rob
