What should I do? nfs would work if you wanted to trust that. Rather than focussing on sharing the directory you might be better off instead setting up an installation of 'apt-proxy'. Install that on one machine and then update all other machines to fetch their packages via it. It will act as a proxy + cache and avoid you downloading the same packages from the internet more than once...
