Just a cautionary note here.  Somehow I assumed you were talking about 
ambient RF shielding, but if you are talking about lightning protection, 
my guess is that the greatest jeopardy from a strike comes from 
conducted energy via coax and control lines rather than radiated 
energy.  It is really difficult to bypass those lines to ground (and 
still have them function) to the same degree that you can shield for 
radiation.  A hard short to the cage at the entry point would 
theoretically work, of course.
