Some proxy servers allow you to restrict clients by IP address or 
hostname.  If yours doesn't you can put an IP firewall between
it and your intranet to control client access to the proxy.  Or you
could just relax about granting internet access, with the caveat that
proxy
logs will be occasionally analyzed and the top n bandwidth consumers 
audited.  That's what we do here.
