We have several hundred locations that have recently been given an open internet connection to allow product demos,
music, image and general multimedia downloads etc to be carried out in store. The problem is this is open to abuse
as it's the same as a home broadband, public internet, connection.
We are planning on using a Semantic / Message Labs product which is essentially a cloud based proxy server.
We cannot have each individual device manually set up to point at this proxy, so we need a way of including the proxy
details in the DHCP Scope. I am aware that there is an ASCII option 252 which allows for the proxy to be defined, but
haven't actually managed to get this working or seen it in action.
Another line of thought is the possibility of hosting a wpad.dat file on the local router, which I understand to be similar
to a proxy.pac file.
So if anyone can help out in this regard it would be much appreciated, not much hair left !
Thanks
Simon
