Why don't you create your own repo mirror? That's what I used to do,
works pretty well.
Just pick a file server with enough disk space, mirror a whole repo once
(*), then point all your systems to the internal mirror.
The mirror is polling external repos once a day or something like that
and only transfers files when something new comes up. IIRC, lftp can do
that out of the box.
(*) - the base repo does not have to be mirrored (downloaded), you can
probably reconstruct it from the install CDs / DVD. You only have to
download the updates repo, and even that only once.
The internal repo mirror is a classic solution that works fairly well in
many cases.
