DHCP Option 252 (Web proxy) not working



Im trying to use DHCP option 252 to push out a PAC file to clients giving the details of a Squid web proxy.

I know this doesnt work on all platforms but at the very least it should work with IE & Chrome on Windows and I cant even get it to work with that. If I manually enter the address of the PAC file in the proxy settings it downloads it and uses it, but trying to do it automatically (with Windows set to automatically detect proxy settings) just isnt working. I can't use the DNS method as we use .local domains internally and Chrome will not pass these to the DNS resolver it insists on running a Google search.


This is with ISC DHCPD on Wheezy is my syntax correct? Many thanks.


Heres the dhcpd.conf:

default-lease-time 7200; #2 hours
max-lease-time 7200;
option web-proxy code 252 = text;
