I'm not sure how you would authenticate, but that functinality should probably make it into a future versions of sysinstall. Can you do an http install, or do you need to authenticate there as well? I suppose if the situation dictates it you could ftp the entire distribution to a box inside the firwall and install through ftp from that box or maybe NFS.
