CentOS - May 2007 - something like apt-cacher for yum

Hello!

I need to download updates and install it on several servers.
I don't want to mirror all packages just because traffic is expensive here.
We use apt-cacher as specialized proxy for our ubuntu desktops, so we
download packages only once.
Is there similar tool for yum?

Hi, I was looking for the same thing with no luck last week...
I'm not a programmer, but I believe that apt-cacher is written in perl, and
I guess that someone with programming skills could adapt the program to work
with yum...

Also I tried with squid, but as expected, all the mirror's play make it
useless.

You can download all the files in one server that then use .rpms
with something like:
