This has always worked for me:

<==snip==>
//file proxy.pac
//Put this file on an internal webserver somewhere and set the URL
//as the location of your autoconfiguration script in your
//browser
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{

        //If the hostname is not fully-qualified (eg. the intranet server)
        //then let user access it directly rather than thru the proxy.

        if (isPlainHostName(host)) {
                return "DIRECT";
        }

        //Otherwise direct the browser towards the proxy servers.
        //We return PROXY1 and then PROXY2. If one proxy fails then we
        //failover to the next one.

        return "PROXY 192.168.1.5:3128; PROXY 192.168.1.6:3128;";

}

There are other variations to be found here:
http://squid-docs.sourceforge.net/latest/html/x1187.html#AEN1220 that allow
you to specify non-proxied connections on IP address ranges, etc. Dig and
you should be able to cook up something that you can use.
