Do you have fixed IP addresses on your internal LAN, or do you use a
DHCP server? In case of a DHCP server you should have the DNS set to
that server and it in turn should point at the MS Proxy2 server.
If you use fixed addresses, try entering the IP/Name pairs in the
HOSTS file on the proxy server. Don't know if it will help, but worth
a shot.
