A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Dynamic Host Configuration Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: DHCP Option for Proxy Server Configuration
	Author(s)	: S. Balasubramanian, et al.

This document defines a new Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
   (DHCP) option, which can be used to configure the TCP/IP host's
   Proxy Server configuration for standard protocols like HTTP, FTP,
   NNTP, SOCKS, Gopher, SLL and etc. Proxy Server provides controlled
   and efficient access to the Internet by access control mechanism
   for different types of user requests and caching frequently accessed
   information (Web pages and possibly files that might have been
   downloaded using FTP and other protocols).

In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dhc-proxyserver-opt-01.txt".

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
