apt-cacher-ng legends

[Nevyn]

Hi,

I'm just wondering - is it at all possible to make apt-cacher-ng use a
proxy? If for example I had 4 sites around the country - and I wanted
to have a caching server on a server somewhere in NZ but also one at
each of those sites. Can it be configured to do something like that?

This is out of curiosity more than anything else.

Regards,
Nevyn

I doubt that there would be direct functionality for this, because it
doesn't seem to offer any real value. However, you could possibly
divert traffic using iptables if you needed to, and if you were really
lucky you could set the http_proxy environment variable in the
relevant startup script instead.
