Hello 

I read the wiki about the proxy and also the RHN pdf about the proxy , but still have some points that are not clear to me , so I was wondering if anyone can provide me with better clarification :
As far as I understand it , when setting a Spacewalk server as a proxy iit will cache the rpm's and errata's and the clients will you LAN to retrieve the updates ,that the server acquired  via it's subscription to channels on the RHN network .

But if the server is RH6 and some of my clients are RH5 , how can i associate the channels for those to the server ?

Also , where do I need to define when setting the proxy the server that that proxy is querying or is done in the background and he is using it's already defined RHN channels ?

Thanks

Assaf
