In order to put less stress on the WAN link, I'd like to move the clients from being directly connected to being connected through a local Proxy server.  Is there a way to simply change which server the client is looking at, or do I just have to unregister each machine from the Spacewalk server and reregister it with the Proxy server?

Just edit /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date

If you meant normal proxy (e.g. squid) just edit variable
  httpProxy
but normal squid could not cache too much, since most of urls are dynamic.

If you set up Spacewalk proxy server you just edit
  serverURL
and instead of spacewalk server url you put there spacewalk proxy server 
url.

For both cases - there is no need to register machine again. It will 
work automagicaly.
