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

If you are giving them a proxy config via a PAC file, there's no reason
to put squid on that port. Put it in another. Put it on another machine.
Put it anywhere. The PAC file tells them where to go.

You don't really need to run a whole web-server to deliver it. I use a
shell-script through inetd.
