May I suggest you get with your security group and request they punch 
a hole in your firewall to allow your server to hit rhn.redhat.com on 
port 443?

All communications are over 443/TCP, but you may want to verify that 
rhn.redhat.com is the proper host.  I have a satellite server that all 
of my machines goes through, and they don't hit rhn.redhat.com 
directly.
