Hello Matt
Talking about RHN Satellite isn't not possible to do this, the server need
to connect in rhn.redhat.com to retrieve all packages and when you sign
locally (same server), problem happens !! :-)
Talking about SW, maybe will work, but I've never seen this or configured.
Coming from RedHat products (e.g. RHN Satellite), normally we still the
same recommendation.
In fact have to test, in theory can or should work's, but I prefer test
before talk about it. ;-)
Take Care
