man 5 apt.conf

=)

It sure is, add something like this in your /etc/apt/apt.conf:


// Options for the downloading routines
Acquire
{
  
  // HTTP method configuration
  http 
  {
    Proxy "http://proxy.internal.neep.com.au:3128/";
  };
};


apt-get will also obey the $http_proxy environment variable.

Andrew.
