Most efficient way to upgrade a bunch of workstations

So, I read the blurb that strongly advises against doing an iso-based fedup,  
and strongly encouraging a network-based fedup in order to yank in all the  
updates at once.

I have a bunch of machines to upgrade to both the workstation and server  
products. Having each one download everything it needs, is going to get real  
old.

In the past I simply rsync-ed the installation image. I have plenty of disk  
space on the LAN. Then I just fedup-ed everything from my rsynced image.  
This was almost the most efficient way to get everything updated.

Is there a single repository that I can keep rsync-ing regularly, and use it  
to upgrade my machines – to both workstation and server products – over a  
period of time?
