would it works if the subdomains for the proxy are listed in the
zone-file of the dns-server?

imho it is possible to make virtual hosts with apache for every single
subdomain. i don't know if it slows down the apache server alot if i
have 1000 different virtual hosts in my config, but it seems to be the
only way to identify my proxy-users without authentification or on the
basis of different ports.
i thought there could be a more efficiently way to do this with squid.
