Look at the repo in question, use zless to view primary.xml.gz. Search 
for 'base=' -- the value of this field is determined by the pkgurl 
setting of the builder that created the repo.

Regardless of how yum gets the repo, once it sees this in the metadata, 
it will use this base url to download the rpms. You need to make sure 
that this hits your squid server instead of the remote http server. 
There are a couple ways you might do this.

1 - change the pkgurl setting on all your builders and regenerate all 
your repos.

2 - leave pkgurl as-is, but use an iptables redirect on your builders to 
map it to the local squid proxy.
