I can think of several ways to support this:
1. Allow a proxy to be defined in inputs.conf
Pros:- easy to see association between proxy configuration and input
- allows proxy settings to be set in two places
2. Allow proxies to be defined in website_monitoring.conf where the stanza name would need to match the associated input stanza
Pros:- simplest to implement
- would need to repeat proxy settings for multiple inputs if multiple inputs share the same proxy
3. Allow proxies to be defined in website_monitoring.conf where the stanza name would need to be associated with the input
Pros:- proxy configurations are in the same place
- easy to use the same proxy server without having repeat entries

I'm leaning towards option 3. It would work like this:
You would set your proxy servers as stanzas in website_monitoring.conf:
[proxy_california] proxy_server=ca.proxy.acme.com proxy_port=8080 proxy_type=http [proxy_illinois] proxy_server=il.proxy.acme.com proxy_port=8080 proxy_type=http
Then you would associate the proxy servers with the input:
[web_ping://ca_proxy] interval = 15s title = SomeWebsite url = http://SomeWebsite.com configuration=proxy_california [web_ping://no_proxy] interval = 15s title = SomeWebsite url = http://SomeWebsite.net configuration=proxy_illinois
