I’ve been told that we cannot open our internal developer machine  
firewall to get access to plugins and gems from rubyforge. I was told  
that it would be better to do a local mirror behind our firewall that  
does a nightly rsynch. Is anybody doing this - or do you have  
alternate suggestions for gaining access to rubyforge?

Thanks

Matt
