I'm going to guess that you're running Squid on your firewall here...
correct me if I'm wrong.

how are you restricting their access to the internet through port 80?
perhaps you are firewalling that port off, such that the requests never get
to port 80 on the inside interface of the firewall?

are you sure squid is listening on port 80? (netstat -an will tell you if
something is listening).
