But the mirror-list support in up2date sucks just as much as far as web proxies as concerned. If each client makes the decision on which server to use by itself, odds are that each one behind the same web proxy will be hammering a different server, instead of sharing/reusing the downloads.
About the same behaviour , there's also the problem described in bug
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=126667 , which happens when one of the mirrors is not in synch and you have the bad luck of up2date choosing to use the bad mirror to download the packages.
