Bug#342101: apt-proxy: Using virtual hosts already possible.

[Aaron Schrab]

Package: apt-proxy
Followup-For: Bug #342101

Although apt-proxy won't doesn't allow using different backends based on
the host name, it also doesn't care what host name is used.  This means
that you can already give the server running apt-proxy multiple names
and be able to take advantage of apt's parallization, and get better
progress information.

I've had a wildcard record (*.apt.mydomain) for my apt-proxy server for
a long time now, and it has worked well for me.  I just use entries like
the following to the sources.list on boxes that use the proxy:

deb http://debian.apt.mydomain:/debian/ sid main
deb http://local.apt.mydomain:/local/ unstable/all/
