Hello,

Please remind me, did you have any other internet-connected servers on your
network?
If yes, maybe create a local package repo on one of those, then point the
non-internetted server to the repo-server.
Could that work for you?

I'm now assuming the non-internetted server is on a private network, and the
repo-server is able to use two NICs, one connected to the internet, one to
the private network.

I'm speculating a lot here. :-}
