I think the best way ( I am using it!! ) is:

creat  a web server on ayour or another  machine , you put all your CD's  in a directory
say /var/www/Debian, ( I assume that  your default web is in /var/www,  
the address of the serveur is 192.168.10.10),


now go to /var/www  and run the command 
dpkg-scanpackages Debian /dev/null | gzip > Debian/Packages.gz

To use it from any machine 
in /etc/apt/sources.list  you put this line:
deb http://192.168.10.10 Debian/  
don't forget the / at the end of Debian

Of course you can use ftp server instead of web server

here is my config:
I put all debian packages in 2 machines , and a directory  ( Misc )
to store other packages which are not
on debian sites

deb http://172.19.160.174 Debian/
deb http://172.19.160.173 debs/
deb http://172.19.160.174 Misc/


best regards , I hope this helps you
