 A light weight Squid Proxy can be used to cached RPM and Deb packages for both RedHat (CentOS) and Debian based Linux systems.  The squid proxy server can be configured to require a login by proxy clients.  Both YUM and APT-GET can be configured to use the proxy server for downloading package updates.  Once one client has download a specific package it will be cached on the Squid Proxy server such that other hosts requesting the same package will not need to use Internet bandwidth to do so.  One caveat is that all YUM and APT clients need to use the same mirror for updates, otherwise if the same package is coming from different mirrors it will get downloaded from the Internet multiple times.
