I have a Q800 on my DMZ at home. It doesn't have enough local disk
space for a full buildd, but probably has enough for security
advisories (and I could probably dig up another few GB if needed). I
have no problem giving admin/security root access to the machine, but
I'm unsure if my home cable connection plus the masq box in front of
everything is defined as a permanent and proper connection. I have
tested a port-forwarded ssh to the machine, and it worked fine.
If not, I *may* be able to take it to work, where it would have a full
source mirror nearby (and a multi-T1 connection to the outside
world). I'd have to make sure that someone outside having root on the
machine doesn't unsettle any of the other folks at work, though.
