I'll leave the details up to your googling abilities, but what you could
do is one of these two ideas:
1. RSYNC
use rsync to keep a local mirror on one of your servers, then set up an
alias in apache to serve your repo to your private network.
2. NFS
use nfs on a local server and redirect your yum cache on each machine to
the nfs share. This way you only download what you need, and you only
download once per package.
I use nfs because I'm only serving three machines at the moment. Rsync
and a web server would probably be better if you have more machines and
have multiple different package requirements.
