is not a proxy exactly done for that? (squid?)
Well... it should, if you have one permanently running. I don't. I know little about proxies, but I see one problem. Recently, I tried to mirror some of the 11.0 repos before they disappear, with wget and other tools. The problem is that all tools resolved to the real destination the download redirector gives, so that instead of having an "oss" directory, I had several "oss" directories, each from a different mirror. I didn't let it finish. Thus, if you try to use a proxy, it will have the same problem, it will cache each of the mirrors the redirector resolves to, instead of "download.opensuse.org", which destroys the purpose of the proxy idea. You end by having several copies of the same postfix rpm, one per mirror it has used on each attempt from each machine of the network. For this to work, you have to configure the same mirror for all the network, which means that you lose resiliency. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
