Is all this a possible way of saving RPMs on a /common directory

Perhaps you missed my reply to this, <hd26d3$rpl$1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>,
indicating that I have been doing this and it works very well for me on
FC11 and CentOS-5.[34] /var/cache/yum directories.
I suspect I may have misunderstood the basics of yum ...
If the post on shared cache isn't clear and you want to try it, I'll try
to clarify. But it's really simple, just create a directory on a server,
mount it rw on /var/cache/yum, and run update on one machine at a time.
Any prm used on one machine is there for the others, and you never
download a byte of data you don't need on *some* machine, so bandwidth is
minimized.
Thanks for the response.
I'm away from home at the moment, so can't try what you suggest.
But I don't understand one point:
Isn't /var/cache/yum/updates/packages/ normally cleared after "yum update"?
See the original post, which noted that /etc/yum.conf needs keepcache set to 1.
