Hello Aaron
this can be done setting the mirror in settings.xml
<mirrors>
<mirror>
<id>proxy.central</id>
<mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
<name>Internal Mirror of central.</name>
<url>http://archiva/proxy/maven_release</url>
</mirror>
</mirrors>
-> if you use proxy in the url then archiva will try to download
missing artefacts from the proxied repo setup in archiva
http://archiva/proxy/maven_release
-> if you use repository in the url then archiva will only be
a cache provider for your already downloaded artefacts
http://archiva/repository/maven_release
maven_release is our internal proxy repository...
I don't know if this is still like this in the current daily build
as I didn't tried it...
