If 'many' is very large at all you should look at a real proxy such as Squid http://www.squid-cache.org/ 

Add as much disk (on a separate partition) and as much memory as possible. 

The error though sounds like you're hitting a firewall, from the system Apache is running check
that 
telnet www.google.ca 80
GET / HTTP/1.0 


(two returns)

gets the first page or html. If that command times out there are network problems.
