Initializing apt-proxy
You’re apt-proxy is ready to use, to start/restart you’re apt-proxy server run


$> /etc/init.d/apt-proxy [start|restart]


Export HTTP_PROXY
If you are using http proxy to connect though internet you need to define the proxy setting in your server. To define the proxy settings you  run


$> export http_proxy=http://username:password@myproxyserver:port/
$> export ftp_proxy=http://username:password@myproxyserver:port/


You need to export http proxy setting each time your server restarted to fix the add above lines in /etc/bash.bashrc file.


Client Setting
Edit source.list (/etc/apt/source.list) to use your proxy server instead of using internet.
Replace the existing mirrors


deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper main restricted
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security main restricted universe
archive.ubuntu.com will be replace with your server address and port it would become 
deb http://myProxyServerIp:port/ubuntu dapper main restricted
deb http://myProxyServerIp:port /ubuntu-security dapper-security main restricted universe


$>apt-get update

Enjoy your local proxy server.
