If you ran your own satellite, then you could just clone your channel at whatever level you wanted. I'm pretty sure you can't do that if you are pointed to rhn.redhat.com though.

EUS costs $60,000 per year for up to 100 servers, $80,000 per year for up to 500 servers, and $120,000 for up to 1,000 servers." This doesn't really fit us or our use of RHEL. There's no way to do this by just changing some yum settings?
