Umm, well. Do you have any idea what port it would be listening on?

step 1. nmap the network looking for that port
step 2. use netcat to connect to each system or roll your own script
step 3. use the URI -> GET http://internalserver/ HTTP/1.0
step 4. look at the results, if it's a proxy then you should get the
        index page (or whatever) from "internalserver".

There are many other ways, but this is just one brute force way.
