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.
