What are the most common host names that users on this list use for
their squid boxes?

I'm asking in light of RFC 2219 while cobbling up a fairly generic
WPAD proxy.pac file.

http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2219.html

3. Special cases

   Special Cases:
        -----------------------------------------------------------
        Alias Service
        -----------------------------------------------------------
        archie archie [ARCHIE]
        finger Finger [RFC-1288]
        ftp File Transfer Protocol [RFC-959]
        gopher Internet Gopher Protocol [RFC-1436]
        ldap Lightweight Directory Access Protocol [RFC-1777]
        mail SMTP mail [RFC-821]
        news Usenet News via NNTP [RFC-977]
        ntp Network Time Protocol [RFC-1305]
        ph CCSO nameserver [PH]
        pop Post Office Protocol [RFC-1939]
        rwhois Referral WHOIS [RFC-1714]
        wais Wide Area Information Server [RFC-1625]
        whois NICNAME/WHOIS [RFC-954]
        www World-Wide Web HTTP [RFC-1945]
        -----------------------------------------------------------

So do folk commonly use these host names for squid, or something else?:

squid.example.org
proxy.exam..
webcache.
cache.
www-proxy.
webproxy.
gateway.

What is the "prefered" host name for the service?
