Why do you want to do that? I don't think there is any nice clean way to allow users to continue browsing without being aware of the proxy. Unless you have a really impelling policy/technical reason to do this, don't worry about setting up some hack to manage it! Centralised LDAP-based authentication and the combination of the right tools at the right place will go a long way in keeping headaches away over the years!
