I'll look at it.  I just installed the "yum-downloadonly" on one box and am
starting the upgrade with that flag enabled.

Then I suppose I can mount the cache directory on other servers before
updating them and I should be golden

Given that I've only got 5 or 6 boxes to do it should not be a major
problem.

But I'll look at the link above as well
