freebsd stable - Sep 2017 - Mirror the freebsd-update server?

Hi,

is it possible or even allowed to just mirror one of the freebsd-update 
servers locally?

I don't want to build the patches myself (I have no custom kernels, but 
best I can do is not completely f' it up - so why bother?).

I have between 100 und 200 servers that need updates - and on upgrades, 
it kind of pulls on my nerves.


Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to cache them via squid or so.

Take a look at https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/hubs/index.html.  This
doc discusses setting up a mirror (found via quick Google search).
