not the answer you were necessarily looking for, but if your boxen are on the
same lan, apt-proxy is great for reducing bandwidth usage:
http://apt-proxy.sourceforge.net/
does what it says on the tin - i.e. downloads a copy of each package to your
server, meaning that any debian clients you need to update on the same lan
don't also have to collect their updates on the interweb if it's already
cached. hth. craig
