You could have one host mirror the yum repositories for the version of the
os you run, then point all the hosts at the url for the base directory
for the updates, and they would pull from there.
a lot of the mirrors (mine included) support rsync access for precisely
this reason.

Hi there !
A client has a number of machines on their internal LAN, all running FC4.
To keep them all up2date takes quite a lot time and bandwidth because
even at 512M broadband speeds the stuff has to be downloaded for all
the machines on the network. Could I set them up with their firewall
machine holding a mirror of the Fedora Core and Extras repositories and
have all the network machines point to the firewall for repositories ?
Any pointers to doing this and gotchas to beware of would be welcome ...
