I have two SuSE boxes both running OpenSuSE 11.0. I run two separate updates and download almost all updates twice.

Because of limits imposed by ISP's, I am concerned that the typically huge updates will exceed the limits. This month I have had over 12Gb total for both boxes.

How can I fetch all the updates required for both boxes once without having to become a repository and download everything--which would far exceed isp's limits. This would probably be some sort of proxy agent that can read the installed database for each box then fetch each package once and only once for both boxes. Is there yet a utility to do that?

So what you need, is something like apt-proxy on Debian, but for OpenSuse RPMs? If anyone knows about it, please post it on the list, because I'm also interested.

Why can't you share the cache directory via NFS or Samba? I don't use zypper, but for my apt/smart usage I do this all the time; works like a charm.
