Is there a good source for locating the RPMS necessary to install Zenoss Core 4.2?

I can't use the auto-deploy script behind our firewall, and I am seeing a lot of dependencies that I can't find.

In order to be able to install Zenoss you must have access to CentOS, Rpmforge and Epel repositories. Technically, you might be able to do without it but it will be extremely painful. Something along the lines :
1. Start the rpm install of Zenoss, write down dependencies and abort installation (it will fail anyway)
2. Check those three repositories, hunt down and manually download the correct rpm files for listed dependencies (lots of work). Since your server does not have access to Internet, you will do it on a different machine and then transfer the rpm files to the server
3. Manually install dependencies from rpm files (be carefull, they might have their own dependencies)
4. Restart the installation of Zenoss Core from rpm file hoping you got everything in place.

If I were you, I would try to talk to the manager of that group of fascist firewall admins, explain him the situation and require a temporary access for your server. I'm pretty sure they insist on having everybody accessing the Internet through a proxy server. This is what happened at my work place when they proudly deployed the new proxies. I asked them how to access the Internet from my Zenoss server and they helpfully wanted to teach me how to configure the proxy in Internet Explorer on the server.

Sadly, there is not good source this that I know of. Its "ALOT" of dependencies. If I recall correctly, erlang along was a couple dozen packages. Is it possible for you to mirror the repos in question internally, and then you don't need external access from the zenoss box? Crappy solution I know, but I dont have any better ideas
