Does the customer, or your site, have FTP exit programs in place?

Turns out that he's got an FTP server that intercepts everything, and to get to an outside FTP site, you have to (1)connect to it by its correct name, and (2) sign on in the format, "username@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx," where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the server you're trying to reach, whereupon it will then route you to that server.

Never heard of such a thing before. It sounds bizarre. But it seems to work, at least manually. Now, I just need to write a modified update-retriever.
