It should be in your webserver log. Here's an example from mine:
192.168.130.16 - - [24/May/2013:23:40:02 +0100] "GET /proxy.pac HTTP/1.1" 200 1485 "-" "-"
and here's the log definition line for this vHost:
CustomLog "|/usr/bin/cronolog /home/www/wpad/logs/%Y/%m/%d/public-access.log" combined
If you're going to block by firewall rule I'd suggest you take a close
look at fail2ban, which dos this kind of process very well indeed.
For comparison, I've had over 4000 hits in my access log today. And this
is from a fairly lightly loaded network with just a few PCs and
servers. Windows 7 appears to be *very* noisy indeed (I think I might
need to investigate the document expiry time to see if I can persuade
W7 to cache the answer a little more often).
