Many people think differently. You would be surprised how many proxy admins
believe that interception caching is all there is. Most admins don't have
proper control of their network and thus don't control the proxy settings
at their browsers.

However I don't recommend using interception caching either as it has the
usual number of drawbacks.

Since the OP runs it as a forward proxy it's only fair to assume that the
proxy is running behind a firewall.

Yes, it definitely is. But it doesn't create the problem the OP seems to
have.

Sorry to be smartassing.
