I think I see my problem.  I had digest turned on.  Just turned it
off.  Hopefully I'll start receiving emails.

So what you are saying is that it is not possible to see in one
location a summary of all the hosts reporting to all the satellites.

For me, I don't care if red hat see my stuff.  I'm trying to off set my IT
costs by partnering with my vendor (red hat) through their hosted site.  I
use the satellite simply because I don;t want all my hosts connected to the
internet and I'd like to have a local repository of custom patch sets and
content.  Thus I'd like my satellites to be able to tell the hosted whats
under them.  I agree other my not like that, so it of course would need to
be configurable.
