Following situation:
We have a quite big projects that I am trying to mavenize. Therefore we have installed our own nexus repo manager. Everything works so far but now we face the situation that every dev must enter his/her proxy username and password into the
settings.xml
to get artifacts from outside (i.e. Internet).
Unfortunately the devs need to change their proxy passwords every now and then and they need to apapt the settings.xml again.
The connection to our nexus is not routed over the proxy. Is there a possibility to configure a DNS like approach:

Il will give you a more accurate answer as soon as you'll reply to my question, but anyway, here is the best way to achieve what you want.
Nexus, Artifactory and other repo manager (like smw pointed out), are able to act as a proxy for you. They will receive your requests, look into their own database for searching your atifacts, and then access to Internet if they didn't found anything.
You must configure Nexus telling it what repo it have to mirror, and optionnaly give it proxy credential :
