Hi!
It seems that WSUS OU ignores the proxy setting when retreiving updates from a WSUS server.
Problem description:
In our LAN we don't have a DNS server, and all our HTTP traffic goes through a proxy.
Outside the proxy, there is a WSUS server which we can use.
In the WSUS OU settings I specify both the proxy address and the WSUS address.
Everything goes fine while downloading various things from outside (wsusscn2.cab etc...), proxy works.
Afterwards, it fails to reach our WSUS server and falls back to the Microsoft server:

wget: unable to resolve host address `ourwsus.ourdomain'

I checked that the wsus host address can be resolved by the proxy.
It should mean that wget here attempts to reach the wsus server without the proxy, ignoring the proxy setting.
Can I overcome this?
