You could also create an "update depot" server that can be accessed by the isolated systems...set it so that all it does is download the update files into a repository directory...then point the servers to that system. That assumes you can cross subnets when needed.

yum-debug-dump
yum-debug-dump(1) yum-debug-dump(1)
NAME
yum-debug-dump - write system RPM configuration to a debug-dump file
SYNOPSIS
yum-debug-dump
DESCRIPTION
yum-debug-dump is a program which creates a gzipped file containing a lot of information useful to developers trying to debug a problem.
By default it will output a file to the current working directory named yum_debug_dump-<hostname>-<time>.txt.gz. This file contains no pri-
vate information but does contain a complete list of all packages you have installed, all packages available in any repository, important
configuration and system information. You can view this file using the 'zless' command.
You can use the coresponding program yum-debug-restore to act on this file and restore a set of packages (much like dump/restore).
FILES
As yum-debug-dump uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the information, it relies on YUM configuration for its default values like which
repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details:
/etc/yum.conf
/etc/yum/repos.d/
/var/cache/yum/
SEE ALSO
yum-debug-restore (1)
yum.conf (5)

AUTHORS
See the Authors file included with this program.
BUGS
There are of course no bugs, but should you find any, you should first consult the FAQ section on http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq and if
unsuccessful in finding a resolution contact the mailing list: yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org. To file a bug use http://bugzilla.redhat.com
for Fedora/RHEL/Centos related bugs and http://yum.baseurl.org/report for all other bugs.
