Freeze Patch Proxy

I would like to implement our patches with the following method:

week one: patch qa systems

week two: patch production systems, but only with tested patches

I had hoped that changing the Patch Source URL setting on the local patch server to reference the local cache directory instead of the sun patch server would halt the server from obtaining any new patches, but somehow its still downloading new patches.

What's the best method for halting new patch downloads - should we just run the proxy against the Recommended patch bundles or can we somehow limit access to new patches?
