[platform-update-dev] Creating internal mirrors of core eclipse update sites

Hi All,
 
I am in charge of creating a preconfigured internal release of eclipse 3.2 for my company. Once developers have installed the baseline product I would like to use the update manager to handle *all* enhancements (via feature installs) and updates (to the core platform and Callisto features).
 
I have read the docs on controlling the eclipse update policy (http://help.eclipse.org/help32/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/tasks/tasks-37.htm). Do you think it is necessary to create internal proxies for the core sites installed by default in 3.2 ('Callisto Discovery Site' and  'The Eclipse Project update site')? Does anyone have any experience of doing this? I would be especially interested in hearing about the process by which you detect, install, test and then expose updates to your company via the proxies. (We have a number of home grown and vendor features that would need regession testing with all updates before enterprise wide relase.)
 
Best rgds,
 
Miles
