Perhaps you should set the appropriate environmental variables
to bypass the proxy from your FE to your BE.  Typically this is
done by using the no_proxy variable as:
  export no_proxy="localhost,127.0.0.0/8,::1"
(obviously adding in your BE host).

Btw, if you really need to use a proxy, I would recommend
moving to a transparent proxy using network intercept
technology at your gateway(s) rather than explicit proxies.
