Yes - you can insert products into your queue under any feed type and as
long as you don't have any 'allow's on your host to propagate that feed
type to other IDD sites then you won't be adding unusual products to the
feed.  But, please be very careful about that - this is something you'll
need to keep on top of over time and document for others who maintain
the server after you're gone.  If you were to introduce unexpected
products into the feed it could adversely affect other sites.  It would
help to give the products non-standard names, so "typical" patterns
won't match.

Would you please describe the topology further for me?  How many
machines we talking about, and who feeds from whom?
