I use DEBIAN so it may be slightly different than novell. What I did was setup one PC running Linux on the network that can get outside the firewall and has a fixed IP address. It is running APT-PROXY and has the addresses of the DEBIAN servers. All the other machines are set up so when they do an APT-GET to download a fix they only know about my APT-PROXY machine. That way fixes are only sent over the internet one time. The fixes are distributed to all the internal machines from an internal machine. This is much faster. The machine installing a fix get it over our gigabit Ethernet instead of going out over the internet.

My security group will not allow me to use a proxy to get out to the new novell server at https://you.novell.com <https://you.novell.com/> . They are telling me to set up a patch server and not go thru yast online update.
