The defaultroute on which system?

It's not clear to me what exactly you're trying to do.
Which systems are supposed to use the proxy?
Are these systems configured to use the proxy
or should the proxy intercept their requests?
Which proxy do you use?

Building a router and a http proxy are two different
problems and maybe you should solve them one at the time.
