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.
