Hi Roger, [...]
2. Limit the firewall exception to exactly one external repo server from which you then mirror the data to your local server.
That is still the question: since all repos are not on all mirrors (like the one I mentioned - but there are many more), I would still need to get the mirror software to talk to an external server. I guess the idea is that mirrors always get data from download.opensuse.org and never from a mirror. SO I only need that in the white list.
I can't help but think that the mirror activity may be more work against download.opensuse.org than my occasional updates...
this might be, but you can definitely avoid your problem with the firewall scanner by using exactly one external server - or maybe two, if you need packages from more than one server.
