Because I have multiple machines, and was testing dapper under vmware, I installed apt-proxy under breezy. After upgrading to dapper, I get errors similar to
Failed to fetch http://marvin:9999/ubuntu/dists/dapper-updates/universe/binary-i386/Packages.gz 503 Service Unavailable

(marvin is the name of the machine that apt-proxy is running on.

apt-proxy.log shows:

/etc/apt-proxy/apt-proxy-v2.conf has the following entries for ubuntu:
[ubuntu]
;; Ubuntu archive
backends = http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu

[ubuntu-security]
;; Ubuntu security updates
backends = http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu

The error indicates that the backend parsing is wrong - the path is being picked up as the host name
