[CentOS] yum update problems

[Will McDonald]

Could you host local Yum repositories either behind, or on, the
proxies themselves for each network or subnet?

could speed up the whole update process, save bandwidth and
potentially side-step your proxy issues with a couple of well placed
rsync cron jobs.
