apt-get proxy issue

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

So awhile back I setup apt to use the linode internal apt cache (http://www.linode.com/wiki/index.php/Internal_Services)

Seeing as incoming bandwidth is no longer counted, not that I used that much, and also the fact that I've been unable to use the internal cache a few times now I decided to remove the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01proxy file. Now whenever I attempt to update I'm getting errors.

Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com lucid-updates/universe Sources
  404  Not Found [IP: 2600:3c03::f03c:91ff:fe93:f238 80]

W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid-updates/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz  404  Not Found [IP: 2600:3c03::f03c:91ff:fe93:f238 80]

2600:3c03::f03c:91ff:fe93:f238 is the local ipv6 address. I can only guess it's still trying to use a proxy without an address so it's using the local IP. I don't have an apt.conf file. I'm at a loss of what to do here, I don't see anything that would tell apt to use a proxy.

This is my apt-config dump

Weird thing to add here. Changing my sources.list to use ftp instead of http has worked around the issue. Not sure why http doesn't work still.

I don't see anything in the enviroment variables that would use a proxy, and I can use lynx to connect to security.ubuntu.com normally.
