Hi
I would recommend apt-proxy for that...
I use it with quite a success, though it has several problems:
1. sometimes it takes a bit of time to start the connectiom
2. it has some problems wenn 2 hosts want to get the same file at the
same time (when it is not already on the server) (the 2nd host has to
wait until the download to the server is completed
