Perhaps you should have a look at Artifactory (artifactory.sf.net). As far as I 
have seen it during my usage it only caches the latest version of snapshots 
deployed to the repository.

Ok, this doesn't prevent the user-local cache from growing so your users should 
sometime simply clean their cache. But at least this helps you to save some 
disk space on your proxy.


Cheers
