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.

Good luck,
Jim
