I use it regularly myself without a local repo for machines that
(intentionally) don't have direct access to the internet or our caching
proxies where I point yum anytime there are enough machines to overcome
its tendency to pull a copy from every mirror. You also need to 'export
ftp_proxy=http://...' for the generic case where the mirrors will
include ftp urls (squid handles them equally well).
