I think there's an important distinction between broken dns and local dns. If someone wants to provide controlled web access through a web cache without giving general internet access then I don't see why they shouldn't. This doesn't affect admins running servers, it affect people trying to install FreeBSD on the locked-down part of the network - typically the desktop machines of developers. It also seems to be a fundamentally bad idea for a client that knows it's connected to a proxy to be choosing the server in the first place.Received on Sun Nov 03 2013 - 13:10:35 UTC
