I have installed isc-dhcp-server on one machine and configured to send wpad address:
option local-proxy-config code 252 = text; subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { ## dhcp start and end IP range ## range 192.168.1.140 192.168.1.144; option local-proxy-config ""; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; ## subnet option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255; ## broadcast option routers 192.168.1.1; ## router IP }
then did dhcpd -t and restarted server, and then I wanted to test the option from another machine, so I used dhcping:
sudo dhcping -iV -s 192.168.1.98 -h 01:02:03:04 which gave me:

By default, client has to request the option for the server to send it.
You can use these lines in the dhcpd.conf file to force some options:
if exists dhcp-parameter-request-list { option dhcp-parameter-request-list = concat(option dhcp-parameter-request-list,fc); } Note: code 252 = 0xfc
