Hi I have never done something like this, but i was thinking about this issue too. I came up with the idea using a proxy server like squid which is caching the downloaded rpm's and rpm headers. I have never tried it to be honest, but this would probably work, what do you think? On this way, you don't have to set up a local mirror, only the packages which are really needed will be downloaded and cached. What do you think?
