You could try Yam to set up repositories based on the latest ISO images, 
/var/spool/up2date (as was mentioned before), remote repositories with 
extra software and your own local (selected) packages. And then point 
up2date to all that on the local network.

This is a solution if you cannot connect all your systems to the Internet 
and do not require the other RHN functionality.

You can find Yam at:

PS It is technically possible to have Yam download from RHN using the 
up2date functionality, but I'm still waiting for someone to contribute 
that part :) [or some time/priority to do it myself]
