Yes it is possible. It takes several steps.

1) Your network has to proxy all traffic in and out of it. This is to
make sure that HTTP traffic gets directed to the proxy versus some
other 'proxy'.
2) Squid authentication can be enabled via ldap. This means that the
person has to authenticate before they can use leave the network.

This will only deal with HTTP traffic that is unenecrypted. To deal
with SSL traffic you have to control the browser to in effect
man-in-the-middle the session. This is what some spyware does in that
it sets up a local proxy which it can unencrypt the data so your
browser thinks its talking to https://www.amazon.com but is instead
going to http://localhost:38881 and then encrypted to
http://p0wned.com and then to https://www.amazon.com
