You dont strictly need to :) If you have a domain at your disposal you could
set up opac.my.domain etc intra.my.domain instead.

Hmm, this certainly should work, are you getting any errors in the apache
error logs?

http://ftp.indexdata.dk/pub/yaz/debian/  You can get the debian yaz modules
from there. And then you can use CPAN to install the Net::Z3950 module.

If you can get the data out as a tab separated text file, or comma separated
or something like that, Im sure we could write a perl program to massage the
data into Koha's database
