proxy.pac is just a Javascript which returns the proxy IP:PORT to use.
The parent proxies does not really notice how you found this IP:PORT
value, but it is possible that the proxy.pac is using several different
proxies depending on various conditions.
Squid does not have the required Javascript engine to parse proxy.pac
files, but in most cases you can do the parsing for it and convert this
into suitable cache_peer and cache_peer_access directives.
