Or you can use a proxy autoconfig script served up by an apache webserver!
Just needs java scripting enabled on the clients and it solved all my issues
with 2 internal networks and many customer networks and a plethora of squid
servers on different internet connections! There is even a simple perl based
pac file tester available called pactester that solved the last few issues I
had!
