Users identifying themselves by which proxy name they have configured in
their browser?
The domain name set in the proxy settings of the clients is only used by
the client to find the address of the proxy. It is never transmitted on
the wire to the proxy.
The proxy can not know what name the client used to resolve the address of
the proxy. All the proxy knows is which IP address (and port) the client
connection was accepted on. It can do a reverse-lookup to find what single
host name is registered in the DNS reverse zone for that IP, but I do not
think this will help you much.
