up2date & yum, behind corporate firewall

[Banibrata Dutta]

Hi,

Is there any way to use up2date & yum from behind a corporate
firewall, except setting up an explicit HTTP tunnel (which BTW is
banned by my co.!! so it's a strict no-no). ?

also, is there a easy way to check connectivity with the up2date / yum
servers for their ability to serve the update files ?

sorry about the pretty naive sounding questions!!

thanks & regards,
bdutta
