Great. Given that this is a server, though, is there any way of ensuring 
that only packages from the main RH dist + errata are acquired, not 3rd 
party / contrib packages? A bit like just using the debian mirror 
archive and not using 3rd party sources.list entries.

Also, is there any way to use a local mirror like ftp.iinet.net.au with 
apt4rpm?

This is the only aspect of RH that I /really/ dislike. There are 
perfectly good mirrors out there, but the distro is designed to make 
using them hard. I only wish I could put this box on Debian like the 
rest of my network.
