Besides that in the man pages (msgcache(8), hobbitfetch(8), bb-hosts(5)) ?

1)Enable the msgcache task on the clients (in clientlaunch.cfg) in the DMZ, 
and set BBDISP to 127.0.0.1 in the client configuration
2)Add the pulldata option to bb-hosts for these clients
3)Enable the hobbitfetch task on the server in hobbitlaunch.cfg

This is relatively obvious from the man pages ...
