Greetings ...
A little off topic, but I'm hoping somebody can help ...
I'm looking at using automatic proxy setup, hoping to use SRV and
TXT records, but I don't really understand either.
At http://www.wlug.org.nz/WPAD it says add the following ...
$ORIGIN host.co.nz.
wpad IN A 192.168.0.254
IN TXT "service:
wpad:!http://wpad.host.co.nz:80/proxy.pac";
wpad.tcp IN SRV 0 0 80 wpad.host.co.nz.
But I don't know how to tell dnsmasq what is what, it looks totally
different to the examples in the dnsmasq.conf, could I ask somebody to
help me with this.
The SRV and TXT records are different ways to achieve the same thing,
you shouldn't need both.
You can achieve the TXT record like this,
txt-record=host.co.nz,"service:wpad:!http://wpad.host.co.nz:80/proxy.pac";
and the SRV record like this:
srv-host=wpad.tcp.host.co.nz,wpad.host.co.nz,80
(the priority and weight will default to zero.)
Note that I think your reference is wrong: The service and protocol
fields ought to have leading underscores This comes from RFC 2782. In
that case you need
srv-host=_wpad._tcp.host.co.nz,wpad.host.co.nz,80
