After upgrading my first machine, I copy /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb to the second and then apt-get update followed by apt-get dist-upgrade. I continue the process for the remaining boxen. This works fine. apt-proxy looks interesting too, although in my case the machines are all peers - no local network server. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
