# This is the default, if you make this bigger yum won't see if the metadata
# is newer on the remote and so you'll "gain" the bandwidth of not having to
# download the new metadata and "pay" for it by yum not having correct
# information.
# It is esp. important, to have correct metadata, for distributions like
# Fedora which don't keep old packages around. If you don't like this checking
# interupting your command line usage, it's much better to have something
# manually check the metadata once an hour (yum-updatesd will do this).

My guess is yum cannot figure out the type of proxy im behind is false because yum indicates been authorised or not by the proxy. The big question is yum cannot resolve the proxy host even if you supply the actual IP and curl complains instead as below
