I did this via the DHCP server instead of the DNS server.  Since all my
workstations are in the same domain, by sub-net was the only way to
distinguish them from one another.  

 

If you can get your clients to use different scopes on the DHCP server
somehow, you can define different WPAD entries by scope.  Mine was
simple as they were truly separate sub-nets, but I think you "might" be
able to do that with Reservations to specify different scopes.  Just an
idea I had, I haven't actually tried it.

If you happen to have seperate DNS subdomains for each location so that
the WPAD lookup (using a short-name) resolves to the local IP address,
it is possible.

 

I'm trying to think of another way to have the WPAD records different
based on location, and can only come up with unmanagable kludges.

        Tom and I see this differently (me == no, Tom == yes),  but I
haven't had a chance to test Tom's theory.

        http://www.ISAserver.org

        Tom, Jim et al. I was wondering if you could help me.

         

        We have two sites, each has an ISA server (2k on win2k3) and
they use a VPN tunnel between them.

        We've just upgraded to Win XP Pro, and setup a WPAD setting in
DNS to point them to the ISA server

        on our main site, unfortunately this seems to have stopped our
branch office people from browsing the

        internet. Is there anyway I can have multiple WPAD records for
each subnet (i.e. office)?

         

        Or is there an easier way I'm missing?

        Regards,
