You could use autorpm ( www.autorpm.org ). I use it to maintain about 
500 workstations in various labs.

It's very easy to configure. You can configure a single server which 
downloads the latest rpm updates from a redhat server or mirror each 
night and then use a cron job on the workstations to update each night.
