[Spacewalk-list] Kickstart via (normal) proxy

[Colin Coe]

Hi

We have a mix of RHEL5 and RHEL6 nodes.  The DHCP server is the standard
ISC DHCP server and its used manually (i.e. not cobbler, I didn't think of
using cobbler for this).

The environment is split in half between two datacenters and are approx
1600km apart.  There is a single Spacewalk server that servers both data
centers.  There is a DHCP and proxy server in each data center.

I want nodes that are being built to fetch packages from their local proxy
server.

On a side note, I had though that these were fetching updates via the proxy
however tcpdump shows me that these nodes are going direct to the spacewalk
server.  Have I configured /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date correctly?
---
grep -i proxy /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date | grep -v comment
enableProxyAuth=0
enableProxy=1
proxyPassword=
proxyUser=
httpProxy=proxy.company.com:3128
---

I played with putting a Spacewalk Proxy server in the remote DC a while ago
but it didn't work as I expected and I didn't ever find the time to
re-visit it.

Thanks

CC
