Private Fedora repository

[Jay Scherrer]

If you have yum set to keep all your rpm updated files:
Mine are in:
/var/cache/yum/updates-released/packages/
look for that directory and export it to the rest of your LAN.
By pointing the children LAN's to that updated machine's directory 
within their /etc/yum.conf file.
