It can be a proxy server.  It's possible that it's misconfigured to allow
anyone to use it as a proxy.  Evil people can then use it to semi
anonymously surf the web.

The access.log should be logging the IPs of the people requesting the files,
so you can tell whether people inside or outside your lan and the culprit.
