Forward HTTP traffic to the Proxy Server

[JohnPtrs]

I'm looking to be able to send HTTP traffic from the 10.18.0.0 255.255.0.0 network to a proxy server @ 10.18.0.35
Our users using IE are forced through Group Policy to go through the proxy and they can't change that, but some crafty users have figured out that if they install firefox into their home directory which they have permission to do that it will use the pc's gateway and go around the proxy. So what I want to do until the AD guy figures how to deal with that I want to force all HTTP traffic to go to the proxy... Thanks in advance...

10.18.0.35 is on the same subnet as 10.18.0.0/16...what device routes for this subnet? What interfaces are there, and which points to the outside?

As I was... I need to send HTTP traffic from 10.18.22.0 255.255.0.0 to the proxy 10.18.0.35 which then sends it out the gateway. That network and the proxy are off of the same interface of the gateway router but different subnets so this type rule would allow the HTTP traffic from the proxy to then go to the Internet... I basically want the gateway to send that traffic back into the LAN to the proxy which is on a different subnet and will then be sent back to the gateway and out because HTTP traffic from the proxy's subnet will be allowed out to the Internet. Sorry if I'm not explaining this well...

10.18.22.0/16 and 10.18.0.35 are in the SAME subnet. What type of router and what interface is facing the internet?

Just block port 80 outbound and force them to use the proxy.
