Well, I ended up just giving up and removed it. Turns out this thing
wasn't doing anything like it was supposed to after all. I pointed my
servers back to the archive repos and had slue of updates waiting. This
thing did nothing but waste my time. I'd advise others to look
elsewhere for a caching / proxy solution.
