I did this as follows (short version):

I have squid running on pfSense.
I deployed a wpad.dat in /usr/local/www/ (and added links from wpad.da and proxy.pac to it). This wpad.dat checks the network the requesting client is located in and returns an appropriate address for the proxy server.
In the DHCP server I have assigned domain names to the networks. Also I have configured option 252 in the DHSP Server to point to the wpad.dat file in each network.
In the DNS Forwarder I have configured wpad. <local domain)="">to point to the corresponding default gateway in each network.

Is this what you were requesting?
