That can be cured by using distcc from one machine to all the others to do the
updates then share the cache files amongst the other machines (NFS mount it)
and then they can just install the already compiled caches with your options
across the network. Compile once and install everywhere. ;) (that's assuming
that all of your machines would have the same options and packages. If not you
can setup several shares for each "role").
