Why fight it and create work for yourself?  Use up2date -d.  It is a
fully supported option that will work today and very likely in the future.
Sure, other methods can be made to work, but you'll set yourself up for
support issues down the road.  Likely at the same time you expect that
critical patch to be automatically downloaded to your own RHN mirror.

up2date supports proxies.  We have a DMZ-based system with squid on it
that has acl restrictions to the internal hosts that are allowed rhn
access.  The internal hosts have no issues getting packages from the
outside.
