No, of course not. If you enter a web proxy, it'll be set as the
environment variable 'http_proxy', which makes most applications use an
HTTP proxy. They work differently from apt-cacher.
If you want to use apt-cacher, you just want to manually configure a
mirror. You can then ignore the list of mirrors.
