OK , in that case it seems I have misunderstood the concept to the Spacwalk proxy .

What i understood is that  the proxy function in the same way as a regular proxy , storing errata and packages for the use of the clients , and then if required they access the proxy instead of all clients establishing a connection to the outside source. (similar to the way one can run a proxy in front of a webserver on a single machine ) ,So the server is functioning as both the checker and the storage container .

Is spacewalk proxy acting in another way ?

why must it be a separate machine ? , Storage ? Bandwidth ? what is the restriction /application that requires the proxy and the server to be on two autonomous boxes ?
