Still doesn't seem to work.
From "man apt.conf"
THE ACQUIRE GROUP
       http
           http::Proxy sets the default proxy to use for HTTP URIs. It 
is in
           the standard form of http://[[user][:pass]@]host[:port]/
Note the trailing slash, so it would be
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://CacheServerIp:3142/";
It can't work as the snippet name is in the wrong format
The correct snippet name is /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/NNproxy
where NN is a number e.g.:-
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/90proxy
Scott, could you explain that a little more? In "man apt.conf" there is 
no mentioning of numbers; they would only help with making the 
"alphanumeric ascending order" more visible:
       When an APT tool starts up it will read the configuration files 
in the
       following order:
        1. the file specified by the APT_CONFIG environment variable 
(if any)
        2. all files in Dir::Etc::Parts in alphanumeric ascending order 
which
           have either no or "conf" as filename extension and which only
           contain alphanumeric, hyphen (-), underscore (_) and period (.)
           characters.

Disclaimer: I'm using the older "apt-cacher" instead of "apt-cacher-ng" 
and there are subtle differences in syntax.
