On the proxy, you need to configure the parent satellite server
address in /etc/rhn/rhn.conf

proxy.rhn_parent =

Afaik the client connects against c2s on the proxy and the proxy
connects to the satellite using s2s. The communication from client to
proxy is bridged through sm (session manager).

All of these components are configured in /etc/jabberd/

On client side, you need to point against the proxy in
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date with

serverURL=
