You need to make sure the OWA gets called by the name used in the browser.
In the simple accelerator setup the host name gets modified by the
accelerator to the internal serever name and this won't work with OWA.

in /etc/hosts add the external name you give to the service with the IP
address of your OWA server. Then configure Squid like

httpd_accel_host the.external.name
httpd_accel_port 80

Or look into using Squid-3 where acceleration mode is redone and in my
opinion much easier to get correct (but then I am perhaps a little biased)
