Nope.
If the client has sent the request to the proxy the proxy either has to
process the request, or give an error back to the user.

Sure. Many ways. Which one is least hard to implement depends heavily on
your environment.
If the browsers are already configured to use a proxy configuration
script then just update the script with instructions on what do do on
requests for the domain.
If not you will need to find some way to have a small program executed
on all client stations to reconfigure the browser proxy settings. This
can be run from a domain logon script or similar if your users are
logging on to a domain.
Alternatively you can set up access controls in the proxy denying access
to the domain and return an error with instructions on the
reconfigurations needed instructing the user how to make the needed
changes.
If you have a distributed administration framework such as SMS or
anything similar then the automatic change of the client configurations
may be possible to do via this also.
