We do not use Proxy server in my company but we need to access a website at our parent company that requires proxy server. Is there any way that I can set up a session/shortcut for the user pointing to that specific website using proxy server whilestill leaving all other internet access intact without proxy server?

I will assume that your parent company website only allows connections from certain IP(s), and this is the reason you need to access it through a Proxy server.

With out configuring your hosts to always use a proxy server thus fixing the problem, the best solution I can come up with for you is to use an intermediary device running DNAT also called PAT.

DNAT (Dynamic Network Address Translation) or PAT (Port Address Translation) will cause all your internal clients to appear as though they are coming from one single IP address. Then all you have to do is convince your parent company to allow that single IP address access to the website and you are golden.

There are many gateway routers that run NAT services, that you can pick up for $150.
