* yum cache is in /var/cache/yum. You can enable its use in /etc/yum.conf 
with:

?keepcache=1

Also refer:

* You might want to look into Presto for delta RPMS as well:

Perhaps set up a local repo?

This howto is for Fedora 8 , should alo work for other fedora

If you have huge number of nodes to manage, perhaps you should look at

http://www.redhat.com/spacewalk/faq.html

Initial grind apart, you will wonder how you did without it..
