I, too, have had experience with this sort of thing. The approach I used has a bunch of dummy "index" pages that spill out db content in a way that will be interesting from a content perspective to people searching Google, but with nothing else on them. These "index" pages are then set with CFLOCATION tags that automatically redirect all visitors who don't match the IP address of the Google Search Appliance. The redirects go to the "real" page instead of the dummy index page. Doing it this way gives you very tight control over exactly what the GSA indexes and how it does it, and it's pretty easy to code, since it's just a bunch of simple pages that dump data.
You're welcome to contact me off list if you would like.

We're closing in on the ceiling of our URL license and we're implementing a new version with double the licenses. Michael is right, the appliance indexes only URLs, so you need to build a bunch of crawler pages to dump any db content you want to index. I have done some work with it at this point and I'd be happy to share whatever meager lessons I have learned from it with you.
