1) Add an entry for your proxy to your DNS.
2) I would use the FQDN. You need DNS anyway.
3) You can use any Port but it must be the same as specified in the child config.
I prefer same Ports and same visibile hostname on all our proxies, otherwise I had problems with ftp-Listings going through the hierarchy.
(Icon referenced to unreachable hosts/ports). Just try it.

We use a parent proxy at our ISP and we would like to make our proxy a
parent to another proxy on site.

I note that the ISP proxy has a name.

1) how would we give our proxy a name, or does this just resolve to an IP
address?

2) can we replace the name in the tag line with the IP address of our NIC?

3) We use PORT 3128, would we need to change this to (say) 80 if we want to
be a parent? or can the child specify port number?

Kind regards
