Just to answer that part as well...

I think you also got some hints that time how this could be solved even 
without having to invent something new.
- Using DNS entries to point to the local WPKG server
   - Use the same WPKG config on all these servers

You might also use a pre-execution script (supported by WPKG client) 
which is simply doing your verification in a simple *.cmd script and 
then skip execution it the machine does not belong to that system.

Rainer
