Thanks for the great feedback everyone. I am going to put together a list of options for management and advocate for mirroring the entire repository. It will be a tough sell, since they are very cautious about open source software. However, as Brian mentioned, anything else would be tedious at best.
Thanks for the tip Andreas, I hadn't considered using Tomcat as my controlled repository. I'll look into that.
