The only real trouble with WPAD is that it has never been formally
standardised.
  Microsoft products use only the 'obsolete' DHCP methods of WPAD.
  Linux/Mac/*BSD products use the easier but non-official DNS methods of
WPAD.

So you need to configure both methods for it to work properly on the
network for all clients.
