No. *EITHER* you set the proxy once-and-for-all in your APT conf (I have
something like:
Acquire::http::proxy "http://localhost:3142";;
(replace localhost and 3142 by values making sense in your context)
in a file named "/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02cache", for example) *OR* you
prefix the cache to each entry in your sources.list which you want to
go through the cache (you might want some repos to be fetched directly,
or via another cache, for example).
Furthermore I'm assuming you have something meaningful instead of
that funny looking "HOSTNAME-APT-CACHER-NG" (or that this actually
resolves to a host in your setup). Otherwise it won't work...
Cheers
