Hi Chris,
What is the entry that you added in yum.conf? This is what I have in mine.
proxy=http://10.50.10.55:6588
HTTP_PROXY variable has never worked for me.
You mention that your proxy is an ISA Server. Is it authenticated?
Getting yum to work with an authenticated proxy is a pain. I personally
have never been able to get it to work with an authenticated MS ISA server.
