Best solution I've found is to run `squid' (a WWW caché/proxy) on the *host*
server, listening on port:
127.0.0.1:3128
which is globally visable to all the vservers as 127.0.0.1:3128 aswell, but
not to the outside world.
After the first `apt-get {update,install}', everyone else uses the cachéd
copies.
