Then you automatically have *all* updates for that Fedora version on one box, downloaded exactly once. And rsync will keep that directory updated for you. Then you either NFS-export that directory to each machine, and tell up2date to use the "dir" option to get its updates from a local directory, or you make that directory a yum repository (very easy) and point all your machines to it. The tools are all there. Should take 5-10 minutes to set the whole thing up. I have previously posted the scripts I used to run a full Red Hat mirror; modifying those to easily mirror one or two updates directories (i.e. FC1/updates and FC2/updates) is trivial.
