I've run into a similar situation, where my company has governance around 
acquisition of Open Source Software.  So even thought we *have* interenet 
connections, we really can't use them for npm.  We also have an artifactory 
instance running with support for Maven, and I'm actually wondering if it's 
possible to set up an npm mirror (with our own governance layer on top of 
the couchDB) *inside* artifactory.  (It's a budget/precedent thing... don't 
ask).  

i have built the code for our specific brand of (Justice!) governance 
around accessing/acquiring from npm where our registries are configured to 
our local instance of an npm mirror, but it's only deployed at a level 
where a few teams can access it and befit from it.  In order for me to 
allow all the devs in our enterprise to use it, I have to have another team 
that has that scope of support sign off on it.... and they just so happen 
to have artifactory stood up with Maven.  So if I can find a way for 
artifactory to pipe in updates from the global npm registry, then it's 
considered a solution we already support, and I can actually stand up.

so yeah... anyone taken a crack at, or have any thoughts on whether a 
marriage between a couch based npm mirror and artifactory is possible?

Thanks OP for this question!
