Good Point. I run a 'fat' squid proxy on my network so updates only get
downloaded once. Disk space is cheap. Just need to increase the cache
size (mine set at 50G) and max file size limit (have mine set at ~400M)
and configure yum to use the proxy (or use a transparent proxy).
This also makes it easy to stage and test updates.
