I want to be able to cache yum updates locally so when I build machines via

Set up squid and add
proxy=http://your.squid.box:3128/
to your /etc/yum.conf on all hosts? Also, tweak /etc/yum.repos.d/ so that
you don't use mirrorlist, but one particular mirror.

The original poster said during 'build' with kickstart and that is a
problem. The installer has a brand new step to allow additional repo.
specification during the install. (Extras configured by default in this
way). In kickstart the keyword for specifying the additional repository
is 'repo --name=xx ...' However, if you are behind a network proxy, and
Im guessing most people that build muitiple machines from kickstart are,
there's another problem as currently there is no direct way to set a
proxy during the install. Also note that when using kickstart, AFAICT
the FC6 Extras built-in repo stays on by default trying to access the
web directly, hanging the install.
I'm using squid as an accelerator to try and work around this.
