[Spacewalk-list] How to test Spacewalk Proxy

I just completed an install of spacewalk proxy. I tried testing by
taking a URL to a kickstart file, I know that works on my main
spacewalk server, and changed the host to my proxy. I get the
following entries in /var/log/rhn/rhn_proxy_broker.log:
2013/07/05 15:07:00 -07:00 15525 0.0.0.0:
proxy/apacheServer.__call__('New request, component proxy.broker',)
2013/07/05 15:07:00 -07:00 15525 129.46.72.178: broker/rhnBroker.handler
2013/07/05 15:07:00 -07:00 15525 129.46.72.178: proxy/rhnShared._serverCommo
2013/07/05 15:09:00 -07:00 15525 129.46.72.178:
proxy/apacheHandler.cleanupHandler

The webpage eventually returns and provides the following error:
XML Parsing Error: no element found
Location: http://spacewalk-dmz.example.com/ks/cfg/org/3/label/base
Line Number 1, Column 1:

I have verified that my firewall is allowing ports 80, 443, 5269 via
some telnet tests.

Here is what squid is seeing via it's access.log:
1373062140.709 120023 127.0.0.1 TCP_MISS/000 0 GET
http://spacewalk-dmz.example.com/ks/cfg/org/3/label/base -
DIRECT/spacewalk-dmz.example.com -

I'm not that familiar with squid but that almost reads to me like
Squid is trying to retrieve the resource from the same dmz machine vs.
my internal Spacewalk server. Should I be propagating the same DNS
name in the dmz for my proxy as what I have internally?

Thanks,
Jon Miller
