Hi Christian,
Christian Convey:

No problem.
/etc/apt-move.conf (comments stripped):
APTSITES="/all/" # include whole sources.list
# (except fileURLs)
LOCALDIR=/srv/www/mirrors/debian # obvious
DIST=unstable # check manual for the meaning!
PKGTYPE=binary # get only binary packages, no sources
FILECACHE=/var/cache/apt/archives # where apt stores its cache
LISTSTATE=/var/lib/apt/lists
DELETE=yes # delete old packages
MAXDELETE=20 # delete maximum n% of the whole tree
COPYONLY=no
PKGCOMP=gzip # compress Packages files (gzip, bzip2,
none)
CONTENTS=no # don't generate Contents files
Using bzip2 instead of gzip and/or generating Contents files would use a
lot more CPU. My sources.list:
deb file:/srv/www/mirrors/debian stable main
deb file:/srv/www/mirrors/debian testing main
contrib non-free
deb file:/srv/www/mirrors/debian testing/non-US main
non-free
deb file:/srv/www/mirrors/debian testing-proposed/updates main
deb file:/srv/www/mirrors/debian unstable main
contrib non-free

deb http://www.bootsplash.de/files/debian unstable main # bootsplash
The manual of apt-move insists on the file-URLs of the local packages
to be at the beginning. Makes sense, though, cause then local apt uses
the already downloaded packages.
The clients use this sources.list:
deb http://debris/mirrors/debian stable main
deb http://debris/mirrors/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb http://debris/mirrors/debian testing/non-US main non-free
deb http://debris/mirrors/debian testing-proposed/updates main
deb http://debris/mirrors/debian sid main contrib non-free
deb http://debris/mirrors/debian sid/non-US main non-free
As you can see, apt-move merges all of the different mirrors from the
server's sources.list. Of course you have to make sure that one
(unofficial) mirror with higher version numbers doesn't accidentally
overwrite official package versions you'd rather like the clients to
use.

Well, that sounds like using http instead solves all your problems. :-)
And, erm, do you speak german (because of the .at mirrors)? Dann hätten
wir ja auch deutsch sprechen können. ;-)
