Re: Global proxy autoconfig script?

#define quoting(Miguel A.L. Paraz)
// Instead of just displaying a message that "you have to dial into our network
// to use our cache, please turn your proxies off", etc., how about creating
// a global cache registry, keyed on IP networks? When the user sets their
// autoproxy config URL to this script, the script will look up their IP
// network and find the best proxy for them.
//
// ISPs will then register their caches with this service; for example,
// 203.176.0.0/19 may be served by www-proxy.iphil.net.

Perhaps his would be good as a sub-routine to each ISP own auto-config
file, but is this scalable ? Autooconfig is nothing but a java script,
interpreted for EACH object. Is this is BIG, it will be SLOW...
