Speeding up apt-get security updates



Hello all,

	I manage a small groups of Debian stable boxes that manage the internet
side of a local business.  I'm wondering if there is a kosher way to only
download security patches once.  Our link isn't so hot, and having each of a
dozen boxes go out to security.debian.org for updated packages gets old.
	I've thought about making a squid proxy to proxy the http requests, but
security.debian.org specifically requests that no mirror of any time be made of
those packages.  Even if a proxy is appropriate and acceptable, it's really
overkill for my uses.  Unfortunately, a small mirror is ideal, but I'm not about
to ls -lR on the server...

	Anyone have any tips?
