Force UMDS to download from alternative URL

Hi,

I'm setting up for a client a worldwide VCSA solution with an external UMDS in DMZ.

Running ESXi on HP servers only they used to update only from http://vibsdepot.hpe.com//index-drv.xml and were hoping to keep it that way.

I did set up UMDS in my personal lab and successfully added HP source :

user@umds:~$ sudo /usr/local/vmware-umds/bin/vmware-umds -G

Configured URLs

URL Type Removable URL

HOST     NO

HOST     NO       https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml

HOST     YES      http://vibsdepot.hpe.com//index-drv.xml

Patch store location  : /var/lib/vmware-umds

Export store location :

Proxy Server          : Not configured

Host patch content download: enabled

Host Versions for which patch content will be downloaded:

embeddedEsx-6.0.0-INTL

But in the same time I would like to prevent UMDS to download from the official depot, which appears as not removable.

I'm thinking about blocking the URL in the system but this seems soooo wrong, does anyone come with a solution ?

Thanks !

EDIT : solution so far is blocking vmware.com via hosts file...
