Repository proxy 'server'

[madtom1999]

I know I can mirror a repository but thats a lot of space (15GB +) when I only need ~2G of the available.
Is there any way of making a 'proxy' repository so I can install a machine 'throught' it and it only gets and stores and updates the apps I need?
To explain - I'm trying to install lots of small machines and I've only got 512K BB and its a bit flaky so I need to keep bandwidth to a minimum and each install is getting the same GByte or so and it seems silly to load 17GB of U7.10 when I'll only use maybe 2-3 GB of it.
Sure it would be great for small business' too.

You can use apt-proxy, which works fairly well, but I haven't figured out how to intergrate it with our PXE boot environment, yet.

Now can I take it a step further?
I have several Ubuntu family machines.
My 'gateway/proxy etc' is an Xubuntu machine and I have Ubuntu and Kubuntu machines on my LAN.
Can I configure apt-proxy so as to allow each OS to update from the same set of proxie4s?
