Is that strictly needed? Try using a common NFS mounted distfile directory. The first machine to request a tarball will load it into the common directory and the rest get it from there. With a http server, you will still have to get the tarballs in some way, and probably have a lot of unwanted ones in the process if you "grab the lot"
*catch is you need to ensure that only one machine does the download at a time as two or more downloading the same tarball makes a mess! As I control which machine is emergeing, this does not cause a problem for me - there is probably some procedural or scriptable solution if one thinks hard enuff!
