FYI, a member of the Debian security team raised concerns: "WPAD is a broken protocol with security issues inherent to the DNS devolution mechanism (which is also performed by libproxy). Please don't add implementations to the Debian archive." http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/12/msg00737.html Forwarding here without further comments as I have no idea about the security implications.
