When you ping external addresses can you go thru ? It seems like a NAT and forwarding issue to me. You need to allow ip forwarding on your centos server as well as configure NAT. About the proxy, by default apache does not proxy pages to outside networks as a security measure. if you want to use apache as a proxy you should configure it first.
