I dont know about apt-cacher, but if its something to do with apt-get you could you --download-only. Like apt-get upgrade --download-only

apt-cacher allows you to point all clients to a centralized location, when one client performs, say and apt-get dist-upgrade, the apt-cache server caches all of the packages to it's local apt directory. It's very convienent and easy to setup, whereas the squid solution proposed by Dag is a fair bit more conviluted.

A possible solution would be to possibly extend create-repo to add functionality to mirror updates and packages for selected architectures. Perhaps add the proxy/caching functionality that is required to perform these operations?
