You dont need to tell the client anything at all, see bottom of the link:
<cut>
When using DNS, Internet Explorer constructs a default URL template based on the host name wpad. For example: http://wpad.domain.com/wpad.dat
</cut>
You *can* alter this using dhcp-options, but it is not compulsory.
However, the browser may cut the last letter, i.e. proxy.pa instead of proxy.pac - I used a couple of redirects in the webserver to fix this.

You need to set up an .ins or .pac file, and tell IE how to find it.

How does the Auto-Detect Proxy setting work in IE? In testing I can't get the browser to find squid.
