Check the transparent proxy howto's. I believe you need to add

     * httpd_accel_host virtual
     * httpd_accel_port 80
     * httpd_accel_with_proxy on
     * httpd_accel_uses_host_header on

One copy can be found here:

I prefer automatic proxy config (wpad). It is almost als comfortable as
an transparent proxy but easier and more powerful to configure.
