Redirect your yum accesses through a lan-local squid proxy. And switch your Linux client /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo files to not use the mirror list, but select one fast local-to-you mirror to put in the baseurl= line, so all the clients request the same files from the same mirror, so it's just one URL for squid to cache (rather than many separate servers as it would otherwise try, which would defeat the cache most of the time).
