Hi Dave, Requiring local applications to use raw IP numbers is rather extreme. You should have a DNS running on the LAN; local hosts can be referred to by name, DNS or no DNS, and your proxy would send these request to nowhere. IMHO, Chris

I have an Apache server (2.2.11 running on Windows XP) which acts as a forward proxy for a small network connected via a slow IP link to a main proxy server. The network has an intranet so the NoProxy command is used to prevent sending these requests to the main proxy. However this causes Apache to do a DNS lookup for every request. After re-reading the documentation I changed the NoProxy subnet address for a dotted IP address (e.g. 192.168.0.20), but this still causes a DNS lookup. The proxy section of the config file is: ProxyRemote * http://my.ipaddress.com:8080 Noproxy 192.168.0.0/16 <Proxy *> Order Deny,Allow Deny from all Allow from 192.168 </Proxy> What I'd like is for Apache to only process the NoProxy command if the host name is in a dotted address format - anything else can be sent to the main proxy server as this will not be on the local intranet. Any suggestions gratefully received Thanks Dave Vaughan --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
