Sam, This not working the way you would like is the corner stone and one of the key features of TLS. It is designed to ensure there is nothing in the middle between the client and the server. If you need to inspect the traffic, by definition you cannot without the clients trusting your certificate (or its issuing authority as a whole). To be precise, you can't pose as the real server, because for that you would not need the public certificate of the server (which you can easily get), but its private key. By definition, you won't be able to get a hold of it, as the real server alone has it.
All inspecting TLS proxies communicate with their own private key/certificate pair with the client. There is no way around that.
