[squid-users] Squid is unable to connect to local webservers

I've got a squid proxy running in transparent mode with an AUP on a "public" wireless network which is separated from our private network.  We run a local webserver here and found that users get the AUP and cannot click past it when attempting to get to the local web server.

Without using the proxy I can connect just fine to the web server from the squid server so I know they can see each other.

Everything else works great.

I tried setting up an ACL with localweb (seen in the config below) but that didn't allow it through.

Weird thing is that when I try hitting the local web server, I don't see anything in the squid access.log file which makes be believe that squid isn't even seeing the traffic for some reason.

squid config:

# Credentials past their TTL are removed from memory
#authenticate_ttl 0 seconds

#  TAG: acl
#Recommended minimum configuration:
acl manager proto cache_object
acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/32
acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8
acl to_localbox dst 192.168.80.5/32
acl localweb dst 84.8.132.1/32
