Well, not really solve, but workaround.
It works for home networks, but it's not suitable if you are in a large
company network where you never know what other people are announcing
and where you can't announce just what you want.
E.g. you cannot have client A uses cache B and client C uses cache D in
the same network, and it's prone to attacks by faking caches.

Title:
apt should be able to use an opportunistic cache/proxy
Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Hi,
apt-get can use a HTTP proxy if on is configured in its settings, but
then it fails if the proxy is unavailable.
Would be nice (and save ubuntu's server resources) if apt-get could
use a proxy/cache opportunisticly, i.e. use it if available and access
the repositories directly otherwise.
regards
