That's an incredibly restrictive firewall for a datacenter... from my experience most datacenters are able to isolate specific patterns or types of data and be very specific about their blocks rather than just doing a blanket blocking.
Secondly, I seem to remember a way of manually setting what server the update actually pulled from was posted on this mailing list. Unfortunately, I also do not remember and can't seem to find it. Does anyone remember where it was that you could edit a file to manually put in what server you wanted to pull from?
