That is document in MS-OXDISCO and MS-OXDSCLI specs, which you can download off MSDN. The first spec shows how to find what the query location is, and the other shows the XML blobs you send / parse. See http://tracker.openchange.org/projects/openchange/wiki/Autodiscover_investig... for an example.

So you can probably make your DNS and web server create the right XML blob for whatever configuration you'd like to give to the client (assuming that the client is something that knows how to do the microsoft autodiscover protocol).
