Well, maven-proxy seems to do most of what I need it to do. I wanted to set up a local one here so that anyone in the office can use that instead of the central repo. We will also have our own repo for our private releases/snapshots. But there are some things that are not kept in the central repo and since it checks the central repo first when doing anything it seems to slow things down a little bit. If it were internal the response time would be much higher. The only reason I have for not jumping on maven-proxy is that I request something that is not in central it will still have to check central to make sure so it won't fail fast for things that aren't in the repo. Correct? Otherwise maven-proxy would be fine. I was thinking something along the lines of using rsync to synchronize nightly or something.
