I have configured yum to use a proxy via the yum.conf file by adding:
proxy=http://myproxy.com:8080/
What I noticed when running yum check-up date is that some requests are going through the proxy while the system seems to be trying to resolve the domains of other hosts in the repo and trying to establish direct connections to them instead of going through the proxy.
Can anyone explain this behavior?

It seems to me that yum is not 100% proxy aware. IIRC I also saw some requests which shouldn't go where they went.

Good to know I am not the only one. I imagine since many environments use proxies these days, this is encountered more frequently.
Would be great to hear from the devs on this.

You should ask upstream, http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum-devel
Bit of a long shot to ask here.
