Here's what we use to support WPAD+DHCP:
[From dhcpd.conf, in the global section of the file]
option option-252 code 252 = text;
option option-252 "http://wpad.example.com/wpad.dat\n";;
Note that IE6 truncates the answer it gets (by dropping the
last character), which is why you need to include something
like '\n'.
I'm not sure whether Firefox supports DHCP for its autodiscovery.
The alternative for IE6 is to have a symlink with the "t" missing from
the name. That's how I did it anyway.
And AFAIK, DHCP-WPAD is really only effective for Windows running IE6/7.
I'm fairly sure support for this method in other operating systems and
browsers is pretty much non-existent.
