You need to set up an apt-cacher server.  Here are instructions to do so:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Apt-Cacher-Server.  You will just have to
update the souce lists on the workstations to use it.  The instructions also
cover this situation where you want to copy files off of CD into the cache
around upgrade time.
