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.

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.

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).
