I haven't tried it, but your requirements sound very similar to what
apt-proxy is intended to provide.

http://apt-proxy.sourceforge.net/
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/admin/apt-proxy

I'm curious about why it is insufficient for your purposes (it's
actually something I've considered implemented at home with a network
similar to what you describe, so I'm genuinely curious).
