I have been using rsync to distribute RPMs from a central server to other 
servers across the Internet.  It has been working well but is quite wasteful 
of bandwidth as it is no use rsync'ing all RPMs to every machine when they 
might only want a couple of the RPMs anyway.

Ok so now I am thinking of making a Samba or NFS connection via an SSH tunnel 
instead.  That way the machines only pull back what RPMs they actually NEED.

Which would be better/safer to use in this scenario?  Am I better to stick 
with Samba which is already setup on the central server or is NFS better for 
this purpose?
