Policy Based Routing??

Nortel newbie here. Just a query about a possibility.

Currently have 2x 8010 routers and numerous 5520 switches. The 8010s are being replaced with Cisco 4507 in 4-5wks, switches are staying.

Looking at implementing new WiFi system. Requires VLAN40 & VLAN41 to force users to use our proxy server. Currently using Windows Group Policy to configure clients to do this but plan is to allow any device on WiFi ie we don't control settings and eg Android doesn't even have proxy settings, but all need to force through proxy server. Have been advised that this can be done using Policy Based Routing (PBR) on Cisco to force http via proxy but other protocols not, wondering if our current Nortel setup can do it to be able to test.

Advice?
 
Ok, have a look around in the 8010 I've found the following settings that may do what we need. These are from Enterprise Switch Manager (& Device Manager).

IP Routing/Filter
IP Routing/Policy

Looks like this could allow a filter/policy to say that anything on port 80 from a particular network (there appears to be no setting for VLAN) to route to a next hop which would be our proxy server.

Anyone have experience with this?
