apt honours the http_proxy variable, or you can use /etc/apt/apt.conf.  Mine
has:

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://web-proxy.fc.hp.com:80/";

I'm sure the auto proxy doesn't change very often, so you can just
download that file and have a look at it to see which web proxy to use.

By the way, can you wrap your text at 75 columns in the future?  It's hard
to read.
