Make your proxy transparent then they all HAVE to use it. It doesn't matter whether you use the Netgaer box or the proxy box for routing. Although I tend to agree with Matt Palmer because even an old P.Pro linux server with 256mb ram will cream the router every time as well as affording the options of a proper firewall, porn blocking etc. Then they can sell their Netgear on e-bay or use it as a coffe stand.
I have a similar install running on a dual P166 with 96mb RAM handling all that and mail sever/fileserver functions for a computer reseller with 12 workstations and traffic of 5Gb /month (proxy) Down from 15GB/ month unproxied. If you can't sought it out yourself or are up against a deadline give me a yell of list.
