For some time I've fiddled with Debian and Ubuntu LTS. There's one
really nice feature for local networks: apt-cacher, a package proxy
for APT.
My company is in the remote South French countryside, and more often
than not, schools and public libraries only have some very limited
Internet access with relatively low bandwidth, which can make the
updating process very tedious. A package cache comes in very handy in
such situation.
You can also enable keepcache in /etc/yum.conf on one of the servers and
after update copy rpms from /var/cache/yum to a (higher priority) local
repository. You'll need to use createrepo to generate metadata for the
repo.
