Comment (by sparks):
I recently read how Debian does this. In addition to their normal mirrors they have one (or several?) core servers that *only* host urgent security fixes. This reduces the time for getting the packages out the door and into the hands of their users.
Of course, this bypasses the need for mirrors but I wonder if this could be an acceptable alternative to trying to push the bits around. Would one or two servers be able to handle the load of a single update every so often?
