I thought it would be nice to use the gateway servers "/var/cache/yum" as a local repository for any internal servers since it would be up to date with the lastest packages and save bandwidth.

It's a better idea to rsync the entire repo. You can do it with Dag Wieer's YAM, or just rsync.
So do you just keep cleaning your yum cache?
Right now my yum cache is @ 312 meg which if I rsync'd the repo on the same machine I'd be doubling for the same files, correct, 624 meg. I also don't want the whole repo, just the packages that I'm using.
Arrggg, just thought it would be simple, heck just easier to keep all servers yum.conf's pointed to a Centos mirror.
