Better still, how about this:

***** begin up2date.sh *****
#!/bin/sh

export http_proxy=http://192.168.0.20:8000
exec /usr/sbin/up2date "$@"

***** end up2date.sh *****

This version allows you to pass parameters on the command-line, just 
like the regular up2date command, so you can do things like:

# up2date.sh --nox --install packagename
