These proxy specifications are invalid for lynx.  Make them look like

http_proxy:http://web.DOM.AIN:80/
ftp_proxy:http://web.DOM.AIN:80/

as given by the examples in the distributed lynx.cfg.
This assumes that web.DOM.AIN is your proxy's address.
You can probably also get away with

http_proxy:http://web/
ftp_proxy:http://web/

in this case.
