Redhat satellite can handle it. Too bad I don't know if there is foss alternative for it.

There is http://spacewalk.redhat.com/

They have it? Awesome! Thanks for the info!!

Spacewalk is great, but be prepared for some significant configuration time and energy. Also, it requires Oracle (postgres is in progress last I checked). The "free" version of Oracle has a single processor limitation.

I'd say about 20 systems is the threshold for when the up-front config time starts paying off.
