ok let me get this again:
1) you brought a copy of live unix to another machine called Z
2) Z, besides your copied live system, also has other system that needs to be connected
to the production LAN in order to function?
3) you do not want that copied live system to send packets out to production?
what i would think is, if you don't execute scripts from that copied live system in machine Z, the it should be alright. If your testing should execute scripts or run some background process, and if you are paranoid about ftp or things like that, i guess you have no choice but to grep for such strings in those scripts..to make sure.
I have no other ideas except to isolate testing environment with production. this should be the way to go.
