unset doesn't cut it.  no_proxy isn't about disabling proxying
altogether, but about disabling the proxy for certain domains.

Usually you stick there "localhost,$localdomain".  I also have
redhat.com listed there.  The box running squid has no vpn access to the
internal network, thus internal repos are not accessible via proxy ...
