Why not make a "real" mirror using rsync, test new updates on a test
test machine, and run "yum update" on the clients when the test
machine is ok?

You could risk getting into trouble updating via a shared
/var/cache/yum when CentOS 5.3, 5.4, etc. comes out.

Use nvidia-x11-drv from rpmforge to get updated nvidia drivers.
