Did you guys get this to work?  The reason I am asking....

We maintain a local yum repository.  Yum has been working great.  
Starting to get RH Enterprise boxes now.  Updates for these boxes take 
hours and hours. Its ridiculous. Sometimes the update process just 
hangs.  Not sure if it is a firewall issue on our end or their end.  
Would like to update these boxes with yum.  Have no interest in 
circumventing licenses as we would have the IG breathing down our 
necks.  Am able to use up2date via RHN and store rpms to a directory 
which could be used for a  yum repository.  Problem is, we can only 
download updates for the box we have the license on.  Would like to 
download updates for all architectures (x86_64, i386).  So how can we do 
that without having a bunch of boxes around just for the updates.  There 
must be  a nifty neato way to do this.  Was wondering if the above 
rhn.py would help out.....

Thanks
