 From 'man yum.conf' the syntax is 'proxy=http://<host>:<port>' (not http_proxy)
Anyway it may be too that apt.sw.be is busy; you could try to use the local 
mirror list changing the following lines on  /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo:

#mirrorlist = http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/mirrors-rpmforge
mirrorlist = file:///etc/yum.repos.d/mirrors-rpmforge

Bye
