I have a similar arrangement.  I have the following in my
/etc/apt/apt.conf file:

  Acquire::http::Proxy "http://web-proxy:8088/";;
  Acquire::http::Proxy::debdepot DIRECT;

The first says use the proxy "web-proxy" on port 8088 which is our
configuration.  The second says don't use the proxy for that
particular machine name "debdepot" since I run a local mirror there.

Not usually.
