Sounds like a FP2000 bug in it's "support" for proxies. To me this
sounds like FP2000 connects to your proxy but is assuming it connected
directly with the origin server when it sends the request and not the
proxy..

Probably not. The appropriate solution would be to bug Microsoft to make
a fix for FP2000.
A simpler workaround than to change the code might be to enable Squids
httpd_accel mode:
httpd_accel_host www.your.domain
httpd_accel_uses_host_header on
