It should be straight forward.  Edit your yum.conf file and add a line like:

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

..using the correct servername and port for your proxy and you should be 
good to go.  Works fine here.

If yours is an authenticating proxy then you'll also need to add lines like

proxy_username=some_username
proxy_password=some_password

All the details can be found in 'man yum.conf'
