I guess you havn't seen the RHN proxy and the RHN Satellite Server.
Quote:
The following advanced options are available for customers with systems
subscribed to Software Update for Red Hat Enterprise Network:
* Proxy Server: Red Hat Enterprise Network Proxy Server is a custom-built
proxy system deployed on a customer's site that caches packages for
distribution across a local Intranet while maintaining a single, secure
connection to RHEN. Customers who deploy the Proxy Server may also maintain
their own customized channels.
* Satellite Server: Red Hat Enterprise Network Satellite Server is a
custom-built system which enables large organizations to store system
profiles locally. The RHEN Web interface is served from a local web server
and is disconnected from the public internet; all package/errata management
is done locally. The customer has complete discretion in maintaining a
connection with RHEN for updates to the official Red Hat Linux packages and
channel package updates. RHEN Satellite can work in tandem with RHEN Proxy
Server.

These options have been available long before RHEL was announced, so it's not
a "new" thing.
