My personal hack is set yum to cache (add 'keepcache=1' in /etc/yum.conf)
before updating the first machine I build on a new distro. Then when I build
the second or later machines I tarball up /var/cache/yum and drop it into the
new machine before starting the first update. It isn't pretty, but as long
you are working inside a single architecture it works like a champ.
Could you not set up squid on the gateway and then set yum to use a proxy?

I've noticed several design suggestions in your code.
