I'm running Drupal 6.0 behind a corporate proxy (Novell BorderManager -> all traffic goes to ). My operating system has been properly configured with system wide proxy settings.

With the update module enabled, browsing admin pages takes an enormous amount of time per page load -> 10 seconds or more. My sense is that the update module is checking for updates on every admin page, and since the module cannot connect the requests timeout.

Aside from disabling the update module, is there any way to configure proxy settings for Drupal - or at least this module?
