I have two proxy servers. I had this 'ProxyRemote * hxxp://10.96.2.31:3128' in my original global config, because I thought that statement forwarded to 10.96.2.31, saying it was the ProxyRemote.
Instead, I should have added 'ProxyRemote * hxxp://10.32.2.2.3:3128' to the alternate proxy server configuration. The blocking was coming from the Cisco Meraki device at the remote location. I never realized it was trying to hit the remote location, which caused the confusion. I'm good now.
