I suppose you could use rsync to grab the updates tree off a public 
server, then make that available over http then mod your up2date config 
files to point to that http server.  I don't know the specifics about 
up2date but I would think you could find it by reading up on its man 
page.

I thought update distribution was a feature of buying redhat AS and ES 
though. Or maybe they want to sell you the update service as well.
