If you want to do the proxy selection in the user-agent, then there's
the proxy.pac mechanism, and also a FireFox extension called "FoxyProxy"
(which is what I use).

I think it would be a worthwile addition to Polipo. The trouble is that
it would require designing some sort of configuration language, which is
always a pain.
Note that proxy.pac is not a suitable format, since it requires having
a full Javascript interpreter in the proxy, and doesn't allow static
analysis of the rules.
