Quick question
I want to keep the yum cache in yum.conf it's cachedir=/nfs/yum/$basearch/$releasever
Would anyone see a problem for my needs in changing it to: cachedir=/nfs/yum/$releasever (which would be shared on the lan)
that way I only need download "noarch" files once, for both i386\x86_64

That won't work. There are a few files in that directory that are arch-specific and have identical names (repomd.xml being the most important), so both arches would trample over each other.
Symlinking /nfs/yum/i386/packages and /nfs/yum/x86_64/packages to the same directory ought to be okay though, and would achieve the desired effect.

Thanks T.C. "Measure twice, cut once" as our Carpentry teacher used to say.
