possibly a better idea, set the firewall up to redirect any http traffice
out through squid (i'm guessing it's the proxy your using) an then you don't
have to set all your client and client apps up to know you have a proxy, it's
nicely automagic

it slipped my mind that i have all my firewalls set up that way for ease
of administration, i'm really not sure of anyone who is using apt pointed
at a proxy, sorry
