We put out a new dvd every 3-6 months ... do you really need one more 
often than that?

Heh, I don't need one more often, but it makes bandwidth easier to manage 
when doing test's and mock installs for example aside from the obvious time 
needed to run the update's.

I created a local mirror which at least cuts dl time and bandwidth down!

Is it possible though?

Some people might.  I remember dealing with a client in the middle of
India which had a really slow net connection.  So being able to
download updates and roll-their-own-dvd-with-updates could be useful
to some.  Personally, I've setup a local centos mirror which downloads
updates once a day, and I use PXEBoot to image all my servers and have
a bunch of custom kickstart files that do a lot of post installation
configuration.  I do this for convenience because I don't want to go
out to a datacenter to reimage a server, instead I just log into a
kvm.  But it's practical for your local office as well.  So if had a
slow connection this is the way that I'd go.
