Surely there must be a way to have yum on the first box automatically

everything and then have the other boxes use the cache? Maybe if not directly, then with squid or something like that?
You can find the RPMs in /var/cache/yum (from memory, so doubt check)
For CentOS 5 I've used automirror ( http://terrarum.net/administration/caching-rpms-with-automirror.html), but it has a note that it doesn't work with CentOS 6. I have tries what that page suggests as a replacement.
