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
