Scratch that, try this instead (havent done this myself yet):
Do the following on all the machines:
1. execute> sudo smart config --set remove-packages=false (this will
keep the downloaded packages in /var/lib/smart/packages)
2. have all the machines point to one /var/lib/smart/packages share
(NFS, SMB etc)
Now update the machines one after the other - because the next PC will
see the already downloaded packages in the
shared /var/lib/smart/packages dir it will not download it again.
Downside is that will keep ALL packages, so
you'll will end up with multiple versions of packages after a while.
Can this work?

I know you can add a local path (shared NFS path) as a channel in Smart.
Maybe that can help you simplify things?
