[gentoo-user] [OT] Site-specific proxy

[Willie Wong]

Hi all, 
  I am wondering if it is possible to make it such that when accessing
  certain webpages, the connections goes through a proxy, and when
  accessing others, the connections goes out directly to the internet. 

  In particular, since I am a graduate student living off campus, if I
  need to use certain web services (for example, the Oxford English
  Dictionary Online, American Mathematics Society's MathSciNet, access
  to various scientific Journals), I have to go through the
  university's proxy server, as I don't have a personal license to use
  those services. The university proxy requires a login. 

  I don't want to pass all connections through the proxy if I can help
  it, since it slows the connections down noticeably. So I am
  wondering if there's a way to implement it such that connection
  requests to certain websites will be sent through the university
  proxy server while the remainder of the connections are unaffected. 

  Can this be done with some sort of squid-magic? Is there a way of
  doing it transparently?

Thanks, 

Willie

nevermind that. 

Figured out eventually that Automatically configure proxy via the PAC
files is what I wanted.
