Hi David,
I've tried your list and the server updates fine.
On a client I see again:
sudo apt update
Ign:1 http://192.168.100.1:3142/debian stretch InRelease
Ign:2 http://192.168.100.1:3142/debian-security stretch/updates InRelease
Hit:3 http://192.168.100.1:3142/debian stretch-updates InRelease
Hit:4 http://192.168.100.1:3142/debian stretch-backports InRelease
Hit:5 http://192.168.100.1:3142/debian stretch Release
Err:6 http://192.168.100.1:3142/debian-security stretch/updates Release
503 DNS error for hostname debian-security: Name or service not
known. If debian-security refers to a configured cache repository,
please check the corresponding configuration file.
Reading package lists... Done
E: The repository 'http://192.168.100.1:3142/debian-security
stretch/updates Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is
therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user
configuration details.
It looks like there is something wrong with debian-security repo
specifically.
Could the fact that the client has no internet connectivity play a role?
I would imagine this is a typical scenario where you want to use apt-cacher.
Regards,
Adam

Switching to apt-cacher-ng brings no immediate joy :(

I would expect to see lines like:
Get:2 http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security/main amd64
libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0 amd64 2.42.2+dfsg-1+deb11u1 [147 kB]
but with stretch/updates rather than bullseye-security, of course,
as the syntax was regularised.
SERVER (192.168.100.1)

[HTTP error, code: 503]
1662988978|M|Download of security/dists/stretch/updates/Release aborted
Why a DNS error if I use IPs internally for this exercise?
AFAIK apt-cacher-ng still needs to make contact with debian-security
as part of the process.
Is there something wrong with sources.list on the SERVER:
deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian stretch main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian stretch main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ stretch/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ stretch/updates main contrib non-free
Mine were as attached, with an extra part to security's address.
sudo apt update
Ign:1 http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian stretch InRelease
Ign:2 http://hwraid.le-vert.net/debian stretch InRelease
