Another way to do it would be to have one machine run regular
synchronisations either using "mirror" or "rsync" and export it on the
local LAN, and have the other machines run YOU against it.

If you have a SLES server, this can be set up in YaST (module YOU server
configuration)

edit /etc/sysconfig/onlineupdate and set YAST2_LOADFTPSERVER to "no" to
make it stop retrieving the server list from www.suse.de and only use
the one you set up

As for the update frequency, where did you configure the automatic updates?
