I put our proxy details into the /etc/yum.conf file directly.  Ours 
doesn't require authentication so the entry is of the form:

proxy=http://wwwcache.example.com:8080

..and it works just fine. I believe yum will also pick up the http_proxy 
environment variable if it is set, but if you do this you can't run yum 
through sudo, as newer versions of sudo strip http_proxy from the 
environment by default.
