If you are imaging servers over and over wouldn't it be easier to maintain a local repo and setup pxeboot with kickstart?

I know up2date can be configured to save all RPMs it installs/upgrades. Can yum be made to do the same. If so, have 1 server connect to the mirrors, have it save all the rpms into a directory, run createrepo every so often to update the directory, and share out that directory with ftp or http so that your other servers can download the packages.
Or do like I do, have 1 server that you use for imaging all my servers and mirror the CentOS repos, then I run Apache and have my local servers connect to that local repo. You don't even have to mirror the entire repo if you don't want.

Since I'm on a testing stage, installing, upgrading, and re-installing several times with slightly different setups and so on, I think the easiest way would be to only configure one proxy line on yum.conf on each new installation than playing each time with the .repo files on /etc/yum.repos.d or moving around RPMs between systems... after all what I need is a proxy-cache which knows how to handle RPMs: am I wrong?
