Does it mean that the proxy server gives restricted access to the Internet for the machines behind it? Can they access the sites like google.com (or whatever sites allowed)?
am having the following issues: The school's web server is hosted locally. When the workstations try to access the site via the public domain name, it fails.
If the answer is 'yes' to the above questions, your machines should be able to access the school website as well, through the public IP.
Please ensure that the machines in the LAN are not bypassing the proxy for your school website. Because, we tend to bypass proxy for the school website (in the browser settings), as it is hosted internally (on your LAN, probably on the same machine where squid is running).
Bypassing proxy works, if the Domain Name of your school website is resolved into the local address. But, in your case, the Domain Name is getting resolved into the public address. So, it should ideally go through the proxy server.
Also check, is there any existing iptables rule which is dropping packet from your proxy server to your webserver (even if they are on the same machine), unintentionally.
