Can I somehow configure pca to look on the share first, then query the

patches locally on each client.
I guess I know what you want, and it's currently not possible. The good thing is
that this is on top of my todo-list for PCA. The plan is to allow multiple URLs
with PCA's "patchurl" option. You could then use e.g.:
pca --patchurl "file:/path http://server/pca-proxy.cgi ORACLE"
This would make PCA look at /path, then the pca proxy, and at last at Oracle's
server until it finds the patch.
Right now I'm busy with other tasks (which also explains my delayed reply), but
I expect to have this implemented in one or two weeks. Until then, Rajiv's idea
of using two PCA runs to get all patches might be a working alternative.
