This is an incorrect assumption. Nearly everyone at my work has the ability to get out to the Internet through our proxies. None of them have had any sort of NAT set up, since they're not expected to receive incoming session requests, just responses. Anything that is supposed to get session requests goes into a web hosting environment, and has a real Internet addressable IP address.
In other words, it's going to be different at each company. Getting to the real point, however, I've been having problems with the new Novell download servers. They're not as simply set up as the old SUSE portal server. You can't just mirror an entire directory with wget. Or, I'm just not able to figure out how to do it yet.
