[Spacewalk-list] Configuring Proxy

[Kobus Bensch]

The proxy in this case is for a remote location to minimise the amount 
of large updates and other files in your spacewalk server from 
traversing your network links and saturating them with updates and such. 
The proxy will hold the files to enable remote clients from getting the 
updates and files from a local source. Not to be confused with apache 
and squid proxy.

(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 .
