So browsers talk to Server A, which passes requests onto Server B which is
running CKAN. The problem is that the page is returned with links that go
directly to Server B, but you want them to go via Server A?

The ckan.site_url config option changes links which which we specify the
domain. (If you find any that we've missed then let me know - this was done
in http://trac.ckan.org/ticket/836 )

Most internal CKAN links are just relative though. e.g. "/dataset". I'm
surprised the browser is using the domain of Server B rather than of Server
A, because the proxy is passing it the page. Perhaps someone else knows
about this? Perhaps it's something to do with the proxy setup?
