"The Beast" is up and running! The server successfully mirrored and is updating
my netbook. Not as hard to setup as initially thought, it just sounds like a
monumental undertaking. Of course, it does require adding the server to your
software sources, which is easy enough to do.
It would probably be best to set the cron job to start Friday evening/night so
it can run through the weekend.

Phil and I set up DNS and the local mirror. The default method for updating
local machines with a local mirror is HTTP so the mirror package installed
apache as a dependency.
The mirror download started on Sat Sep 24 at 3:15 PM, and finished Mon Sep
26 at 4:33 AM on a 3 Mbps symmetrical connection.
We'll bring the server to the workshop Thursday and reconfigure DNS.
The server updates the mirror via a daily cron job. We might want to change
the cron job to weekends only in case there is an update which dribbles into
our benefactor's business hours. I doubt any would be that large, but it is
something to consider.

make a copy of /etc/network/interfaces
edit /etc/network/interfaces to taste, save and reboot
Simple as that...
