are we considering a more formal way to solve this sort of problem? a  
high percentage of our customers typically have a large secure air gap  
between their network and the rest of the world .. installing in these  
environments is going to require a private, local, cacheable  
repository - preferably something that is also easily transportable ..  
AI and a pass through proxy isn't going to cut it as this will  
typically introduce a site policy violation
