Why not take the choice away from the client machines?
You could set a transparent proxy to point to 10.2.0.4:3128 and use an src
ACL to dictate whether to proxy or not (choice of direct, no-cache,
etc)...
It also stops non-browser programs from accessing the web without logging.

Just my 2c woth :P
