No, it should work with both of them. There are however
some minor incompatibilities between the two, so you
might have to tweak it a bit. For example, rumor has it
that some versions of IE read the returned list backwards;
as a workaround, say
    return "PROXY coucou; DIRECT; PROXY coucou"
instead of
    return "PROXY coucou; DIRECT;"

(I never verified this myself because my proxy.pac script
always returns a single item.)
