The proxy will hold the files to enable remote clients from getting the updates and files from a local source. Not to be confused with apache and squid proxy.

What i understood is that the proxy function in the same way as a regular proxy , storing errata and packages for the use of the clients , and then if required they access the proxy instead of all clients establishing a connection to the outside source. (similar to the way one can run a proxy in front of a webserver on a single machine ) ,So the server is functioning as both the checker and the storage container . Is spacewalk proxy acting in another way ? why must it be a separate machine ? , Storage ? Bandwidth ? what is the restriction /application that requires the proxy and the server to be on two autonomous boxes ?
