Looking at man yum.conf

       proxy  url to the proxy server that yum should use.

       proxy_username
              username to use for proxy

       proxy_password
              password for this proxy

I'm using 7 at the moment, see if Fedora 9 has the same options.  If so,
set each YUM to use your proxy, and always the same mirror (comment out
the mirror list, set pick a specific baseurl URI.

This should work, we used to do the same with Windows to speed up
Windows Update (cache through Squid), it made a huge difference.
