PAC method for proxy is very simple. You have to create a web-accessible
file with special syntax in which you include proxy server data. This example
works with Apache server. You can take a look to [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Automatic_Proxy_Settings#Detailed_Description Bibliograpy]
for mor info about PAC file configuration and installation in other webservers.
Steps:
* Create .htaccess file and add the following content:  AddType application/x-ns-proxy-autoconfig .pac
* Create PAC file and add the following content:
function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {
    return "PROXY PROXY_SERVER_IP_OR_HOSTNAME:PORT";
}
* Upload both file to the same location:
mv proxy.pac /var/www/proxy.pac
mv .htaccess /var/www/.htaccess
* Restart apache /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
