I did this, and ended up implementing every possible way of proxy
autodetection. 

Did I document it? I remember thinking I should but didn't. Have I
started documenting it now? Yeah, I've put a wiki page up on the Debian
Wiki at;

http://wiki.debian.net/ProxyAutodetectConf

Please contribute/correct as you use.

RE: Autodetect squid proxy settings

You need at least two things:

1. a proxy configuration script that tells your browser which proxy to use
2. a way to download that script.

The most reliable way is to set up a webserver with the domain name
wpad. serving up this file as wpad.dat (so that becomes
http://wpad.your-domain.com/wpad.dat). The other option is sending the
location of your configuration script via DHCP; you need option 252 for
that.
