Yes, but it would be better link this:

ISP
|
|
|
Firewall-------------------DMZ--------------Proxy Server
|
|
LAN Switch
|
PC1
PC2
PC3
PC4
PC5
PC6

The reasoning behind this is that any system on your internal LAN could
attempt to take over the IP of the proxy and gain access to the Internet
for itself. If you put the proxy in a DMZ then it is further protected
from this kind of attack.
