Re: [squid-users] Parent Question

1) Add an entry for your proxy to your DNS.
2) I would use the FQDN. You need DNS anyway.
3) You can use any Port but it must be the same as specified in the
child config.
I prefer same Ports and same visibile hostname on all our proxies,
otherwise I had problems with ftp-Listings going through the hierarchy.
(Icon referenced to unreachable hosts/ports). Just try it.
