Another way to accomplish the same thing is to install squid on one of the machines and have all your apt'ing machines use it. I found this to be easier to set up than apt-move (YMMV), and has the advantage (to me, at least) that it's order-independent and completely transparent (it doesn't matter what order which machines access the cache, one always gets the freshest stuff, and doesn't double-download anything.)
