I've read somewhere that microsoft use the key 252 option in dhcp to pass a 
proxy-config-url.... 

i think, for a lot uf networked users switching often between different networks
would be great to have such a feature... i'm not shure, if its possibe to run
dhcp queries from mozilla against the network.. if possible.. it would be the
best solution.. another possiblity, that in combination with a dhcp client a
environment var would be set and this is read out by mozilla.. but if possible..
do it direct would be great...
