Advertising proxy over local network? (self.networking)

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

Depending on the environment you can often use wpad (windows proxy auto-discover) you have to be able to host a PAC file someplace and have a domain, but it fits for your use case.
