To use DNS to configure your auto proxy discovery, you need to add a DNS record. A "CNAME" record for the "wpad" service. Your proxy client (typically a web browser) examines the DHCP/DNS records. If it discovers a wpad server, it downloads the wpad file. You don't need a chicken to discover the egg. All you need is DNS. DHS or DHCP contain the configuration for auto discovery, auto discovery then gives you the proxy configuration. It is common to put the proxy settings on the proxy server, on the basis that if the proxy server is down, it is better to not even try to proxy through it, but for a more general solution you may want your proxy servers to just be proxy servers, and you want multiple proxy servers as well, so actually you can put your wpad service anywhere.
