  Here's what our proxy.pac file looks like:

  We want internal traffic (i.e., to internal web servers) to go
direct, and external traffic to use a proxy, which sounds like the
opposite of what you want.  So reverse the then/else clauses of the if
statement.  But you get the idea.

  If your friend has an Active Directory domain, then it's really not
that hard.  All you need to do is:

1. Put proxy.pac on the web server
2. Redirect /wpad.dat to /proxy.pac on the web server
3. Add a Content-type association for .pac as text/javascript
4. Create a DNS alias (CNAME) from "wpad" to the web server
