You could provide a proxy.pac autoconfiguration file, and maybe even
announce it through WPAD, thereby minimizing the amount of configuration
work your users have to do. But none of these involves Squid. The
proxy.pac file will be served by your regular web server, and the
WPAD announcement, by your DNS and/or DHCP servers.
