You can define a SDX policy with a 80/tcp classifier and next-hop or
next-interface action.  See 
http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/software/management/sdx/sdx64x/sw-sdx-service-policy/html/policy-overview4.html
for supported SDX actions.

Whether this will do, depends on you network.  You will need a layer 2
connection between all ERXes and the proxy cluster.
