These are three Windows servers within the DMZ and off the NT domain.
Pulling updates from the web server was a quick solution to permission and
firewall hurdles. Definitely not a perfect solution and one I hope to
re-address soon through a hook script and probably mapped drives. 

Though there was one recent side benefit, when concerns were raised about
the threat of web site defacement, I was able to confidently say we had that
issue covered. I spared them the fact that if someone was able to deface the
web site, we would have bigger issues than what the web site looked like.
