So, how does it “flow”?  …   You have to register the server with Apple (along 
with doing the DNS record), and they do the redirecting of your customers to 
“your” server?

if you get the Mac mini, replace the drive. The spindle drive is a serious 
bottleneck. Even if you don't, it can handle my entire customer base (though 
very small) without any performance issues. About 140 customers. Most of them 
are very big on Apple. I would recommend putting in a few for larger networks. 
If one is at capacity or down, another one will take over for it automatically.

Thank you,

Interesting idea.  We peer with Apple already at an IX so iOS and OSX updates 
come across that cheaper path. Although this might be worth investigating.  
Wonder how it can scale.

It's just an apple server. I use the $700 Mac mini and it works really well. 
You have to host your own DNS or ask the one that runs the DNS you use to put 
in the txt record for your public subnet.

Is this something that we can setup as an ISP and all customers on our network

My caching server gets it the very moment anyone on my network tries to 
download it for the first time.

The problem with that is that the caching server usually doesn't get the update 
until DAYS after the launch to the masses.

are pulling full speed from this site.
it comes back to Apple.  Are they sending out an update or something?  It's all 
download...
