debmirror can mirror stable, testing, and/or unstable. i only use
unstable so i only mirror unstable.
use the appropriate command line options to mirror just what you need....which
should be as simple as changing 'unstable' to 'stable' in that little shell

debmirror is a perl script. it should run on redhat as long as all the
required modules are installed.
you can download it from your nearest debian mirror. 'alien' may be able to
convert it to an rpm for you (dunno, i never use alien).
