routing or redirecting a specific url traffic to different server

Our LAN is connected to the internet through a local squid proxy setup (10.1.0.139:3128). All users on LAN used to access the internet through this proxy server.

Recently our head office has made a different proxy server (10.0.50.50:8080) for the purpose of accessing a specific secured URL (ex: securednet.org). This new proxy server is used for the internet and for specific secured URLs.

The problem is - since the new office is in a different location all the internet traffic is routed to 10.0.50.50:8080 through the WAN interface of the LAN router, thus making WAN congested. Previously only LAN traffic used to go through the WAN interface and all internet traffic through local proxy servers to the internet.

Is there a way to separate traffic destined for a secured URL to take the LAN/WAN route and the rest of internet traffic to take the Local proxy server route?

note: all the end users have windows machines.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
