Two network interfaces with two different proxy settings

Hi! I have a network in which i'll deploy a proxy server I'm configuring for content filtering, but i'll need to access some websites that are in an extranet that has another firewall. Tried to install a network interface to connect to this extranet and then redirect the packages to/from those sites to it, but it does not work because of the proxy config that is necessary to connect to this extranet, and by setting this proxy the rest of the internet that isn't inside that proxy is no longer accessible. The goal here is to access the two networks (internal and external) without changing the proxy settings.
I've tried cache hierarchy on squid but with no luck - maybe i didn't got the configuration right.
Also researching Proxy Auto-Config, but with no idea on how to start.
Anyone already did something like that?

I would:
create 2 separate browser profiles (A & B)
create 2 browser launchers for each profile A & B pointing to their relevant profile paths
start up launcher A & feed that proxy info for proxy A (internal)
start up launcher B & feed that proxy info for proxy B (external)

I know firefox & chromium can use profiles, others may differ.

OR if you use chromium just install Switchy (http://switchy.samabox.com/) & feed it the details for both proxies & click the relevant one you want to access at that time (bear in mind the proxy switch will affect the whole browser & it's child processes so you won't be able to have 2 tabs using different proxies)
