If you administer a few RHEL4, you can set up your own local yum / apt server.  
The application I use is yam, its website is at 
http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/yam/

I believe you can download Red Hat's update using rsync (or http/ftp)?  yam 
can be configured to download updates that way.  In fact I download CentOS 
update in that manner.
