Advertising proxy over local network? (lemdro.id)

Is it possible? Can proxies somehow "advertise" themselves the way some media services or printers do?

For most networks, a proxy would be best done though dhcp option 252, which allows specifying a URL that contains a wpad configuration file, or through DNS.

However that's less annoucement and more making the service discoverable.

Thanks much. I think this is what I've been looking for.
