OK, here's a quick overview of what I did - hope this helps (note this is Windows-centric):
I have several "channels" that I only want to sync once a day, and one channel (CNN) that I want to sync every 3 hours. Using Isilo, I created 2 different .ixl files, one for all news (including CNN) and one that was just CNN. You'll have to analyze your own use, but I think my approach will apply to most situations.
I downloaded IsiloXC and installed (you really just unzip) into my \Isilo\IsiloX directory (which is also where I keep my .ixl files including the wonder wcc110.
The Isilo documentation is pretty simple if you're used to using DOS
Usage: iSiloXC [options]
Options: -h | -? Display this usage help information
-x filename Convert document list with filename
-o filename Option settings filename
-a path Base application file path
-q Quiet
-v[v] Verbose, use -vv for very verbose
-u Update list status after conversion
-H Hide window

So during startup I run "c:\program files\isilo\isilox\isiloxc.exe -x news.ixl -u - h" (just create a shortcut with this info and add it to your startup group). I use XP's scheduler (which you can reach in the control panel) to run a similar command using cnn.ixl instead of news.ixl every 3 hours.

Hope this helps, I can get into more detail if necessary later
