Okay I'm going to ask the obvious...

Why is it not possible to allow this server access to the Redhat repositories while it checks and
downloads patches, and then seal it off again?

Surely it can't entail /that/ much risk?

Otherwise, I've used Michael's idea before, but in my case it was for missing and unknown network
drivers.
