    It's been such a long time, even I have to read the docs to look up the 
    configuration :)
    
    It should work by setting xrefurl and patchurl in the secondary PCA 
    proxy's pca-proxy.conf to point at the primary PCA proxy, like this:
    
      # Get everything from the proxy
      patchurl=http://www.networkA.org:8888/patches/pca-proxy.cgi
      xrefurl=http://www.networkA.org:8888/patches/pca-proxy.cgi
    
    (actual URLs, ports and paths of course depend on your setup - basically 
    the same setup you use on the clients in networkA).
    
    Clients in networkB will access the proxy in networkB, which contacts 
    the PCA proxy in networkA, which gets the patches from Oracle.

    Martin.
