Not quite what you're ask for (that's not possible with rpm AFAIK) but should help anyway: Make one of those servers the "master" and only install rpm's from that one. On the other servers set "%_netsharedpath /apps" in rpm configuration and rpm wont put anything into /apps on the other hosts. - Panu -
