Ugh..

This kind of setup isn't well supported by Squid at the moment, but
there is a workaround by enabling the transparent http_port option, and
then set up a small web server hosting the pac.

http_port 8080 transparent
cache_peer pac.server 80 0 no-query originserver name=pac
acl pac dstdomain proxy.host.net ip.of.proxy.host.net
cache_peer_access pac allow pac
never_direct allow pac

I wouldn't do that. Better to set up a "pac.host.net" address and
gradually migrate the clients over there so you get the pac distribution
separated from the actual proxy, enabling you to play with the proxy
hierarchy without touching the pac distribution (just the pac).

But the workaround above should get you going. If not it should be
fairly easy to add what's needed.
