You could mount the ISO's via the loopback device on the http server
('localeservername'):
mkdir /var/www/centos48
mount -t iso9660 -r -o loop /path/to/dvdrom.iso /var/www/centos48
then add /var/www/centos44 to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Alias /centos48/ "/var/www/centos48/"
<Directory "/var/www/centos48/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
Then restart the httpd server:
/sbin/service httpd restart
Then on the machines you want to update:
create /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-48-Http.repo:
[c48-local-httpd]
name=CentOS-4.8 - Local Httpd
baseurl=http://localeservername/centos48/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=0
gpgkey=file:///usr/share/doc/centos-release-4/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4
Then do
yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=c48-local-httpd update
(The above was cribbed from the /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Media.repo)
Basicly, the DVD *IS* a repository (corresponds to the base repo).
