I'm not a sysadmin so take this for what it's worth. Here's what I do for my
home lan to mirror the debian-kde archive for potato, hack as necessary (this
is i386 specific).
#!/bin/bash
#/usr/bin/mirror_kde2
# declare variables
kde_mirror_root="/mirror/kde2/dists/potato/"
connection_up=`ifconfig | grep ppp0`
# function to do rsync stuff
do_rsync_function ()
{
cd $kde_mirror_root
exec rsync -v -v --dry-run -az --delete --delete-excluded \
--exclude source/ \
--exclude incoming/ \
--exclude changes/ \
--exclude qt1apps/ \
--exclude sword/ \
--exclude binary-alpha/ \
--exclude binary-m68k/ \
--exclude binary-sparc/ \
--exclude binary-powerpc/ \
--exclude "kde-i18n*" \
kde.debian.net::kde/dists/potato/ .
}
# need a test to see if online
# then start connection as necessary
if [ "$connection_up" == "" ]; then
pon provider
sleep 1m
do_rsync_function
else
do_rsync_function
fi
# remove --dry-run and -v's when satisfied.
# mail output to root?
Also, check out this if you're not that familiar with rsync:

ml+rsync+tutorial&hl=en
(that is a cached link at google, for some reason I couldn't hit his real
site)
I then export the mirror using nfs and put this in my sources.list
deb file:/mnt/mirror/kde2 potato kde2 main crypto optional
