Almost. The DMZed machine itself cannot open ANY sockets to the outside
world - only respond to httpd and ssh requests. So what I did is I
ssh'ed INTO it and used -R port:some.proxy:port so the server tunnels
http requests back down my ssh connection and to a proxy, and then to
the rest of the world.

After giving up with wget, I decided to just hack together my own
yum/http mirroring tool. It's quite a hack, but seems to work and is
available at:
