Getting past firewalls

Hi there,
We are behind a corporate firewall which blocks pretty much everything going out to the internet. Unfortunately our firewall is based on IP and not hostnames. We are trying to download some gem files but it looks like some of the files are on servers with a different IP, so they are being filtered out. Is there a list of IP addresses associated with rubygems.org what we can add to the access list on our firewall?

    RubyGems connects to rubygems.org and Amazon Cloudfront so you will need to allow access to both sites. The IP addresses of Amazon Cloudfront are not under RubyGems' control.

    Additionally, I just wrote:

    http://help.rubygems.org/kb/rubygems/installing-gems-with-no-network

    Which describes how to install gems when the target machine has no network connectivity.
