Airport and wpad

Is there a way to configure .WPAD as part of the Airport Express configuration? I would like to use a proxy for my clients to increase speed because of my relatively slow internet connection, but don't want to have to manually configure each client as it attaches.

There is no way to configure anything much at all on an express or any apple router.


I can find very little recent info about WPAD and almost nothing except that Safari doesn't support it.

Since most people will use the express as a bridge device or repeater.. no setup is needed or relevant.


If you have already got some proxy setup in the network, and it is setup with DHCP and DNS all you need to do is bridge the airport..


But there is nothing there to add, subtract or anything else from how the setup works.
