Andrew I would prefer a separate pipe, otherwise it is not easy to
distinguish between apache/squid/etc and a more trusted service.
Note that you do not necessarily have the keys to check the PAC in
winbind as a different service key may be used (I know not common in AD
but common in FreeIPA for example).
