The OP was talking about running a centralized proxy. Put this in /etc/profile or /etc/inputrc (can't remember which) per machine.

Sorry not to have spelled it out.

You can put this in your ~/.bashrc:
export http_proxy="http://127.0.0.1:3128";
export ftp_proxy="ftp://127.0.0.1:3128";

They both need to be "http://127.0.0.1:3128/";; the proxy protocol is HTTP, hence the same scheme for each. Also https_proxy. Of course, adjusted for whatever is correct.

I'm not sure how many utilities use it but I think wget does.

Quite a few.

However, the point of the OP was to set this at a system level as a default for many machines, so the .bashrc is pretty much the worst place to want to put this, being a per-user setting (and only for those using bash, and only for settings where that is involved in invoking applications).
