Thanks for the great feedback everyone. I am going to put together a list
of options for management and advocate for mirroring the entire repository.
It will be a tough sell, since they are very cautious about open source
software. However, as Brian mentioned, anything else would be tedious at
best.
Thanks for the tip Andreas, I hadn't considered using Tomcat as my
controlled repository. I'll look into that.

~Seth
